FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS. 8 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find- 9 ings: 10 (1) According to a February 2016 report by the 11 International Trade Administration of the Depart- 12 ment of Commerce, 12,000,000 United States work- 13 ers, equivalent to 8.5 percent of the labor force, have 14 jobs resulting from foreign investment, including 15 3,500,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector alone. 16 (2) In 2016, new foreign direct investment in 17 United 18 $129,400,000,000. manufacturing totaled 19 (3) The Bureau of Economic Analysis of the 20 Department of Commerce concluded that, in 2015— 21 (A) foreign-owned affiliates in the United 22 States— g:\VHLC\072318\072318.006.xml July 23, 2018 (9:03 a.m.) VerDate Nov 24 2008 States 09:03 Jul 23, 2018 Jkt 000000 (703730 5) PO 00000 Frm 01364 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERY~1\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASCR19.XML G:\CMTE\AS\19\C\ASCR19.XML 1365 1 (i) contributed $894,500,000,000 in 2 value added to the United States economy; 3 (ii) goods valued at 4 $352,800,000,000, accounting for nearly a 5 quarter of total exports of goods from the 6 United States; and 7 (iii) undertook $56,700,000,000 in re- 8 search and development; and 9 (B) the 7 countries investing the most in 10 the United States, all of which are United 11 States allies (the United Kingdom, Japan, Ger- 12 many, France, Canada, Switzerland, and the 13 Netherlands) accounted for 72.1 percent of the 14 value added by foreign-owned affiliates in the 15 United States and more than 80 percent of re- 16 search and development expenditures by such 17 entities. 18 (4) According to the Government Accountability 19 Office, from 2011 to 2016, the number of trans- 20 actions reviewed by the Committee on Foreign In- 21 vestment in the United States (commonly referred to 22 as ‘‘CFIUS’’) grew by 55 percent, while the staff of 23 the Committees assigned to the reviews increased by 24 11 percent. g:\VHLC\072318\072318.006.xml July 23, 2018 (9:03 a.m.) VerDate Nov 24 2008 exported 09:03 Jul 23, 2018 Jkt 000000 (703730 5) PO 00000 Frm 01365 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERY~1\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASCR19.XML G:\CMTE\AS\19\C\ASCR19.XML 1366 1 (5) According to a February 2018 report of the 2 Government Accountability Office on the Committee 3 on Foreign Investment in the United States (GAO– 4 18–249): ‘‘Officials from Treasury and other mem- 5 ber agencies are aware of pressures on their CFIUS 6 staff given the current workload and have expressed 7 concerns about possible workload increases.’’. The 8 Government Accountability Office concluded: ‘‘With- 9 out attaining an understanding of the staffing levels 10 needed to address the current and future CFIUS 11 workload, particularly if legislative changes to 12 CFIUS’s authorities further expand its workload, 13 CFIUS may be limited in its ability to fulfill its ob- 14 jectives and address threats to the national security 15 of the United States.’’. 16 (6) On March 30, 1954, Dwight David Eisen- 17 hower—five-star general, Supreme Allied Com- 18 mander, and 34th President of the United States— 19 in his ‘‘Special Message to the Congress on Foreign 20 Economic Policy’’, counseled: ‘‘Great mutual advan- 21 tages to buyer and seller, to producer and consumer, 22 to investor and to the community where investment 23 is made, accrue from high levels of trade and invest- 24 ment.’’.

In the 2 press of other problems and in the haste to meet 3 emergencies, this nation—and many other nations of 4 the free world—have all too often lost sight of this 5 central fact.’’. President Eisenhower concluded: ‘‘If 6 we fail in our trade policy, we may fail in all. Our 7 domestic employment, our standard of living, our se- 8 curity, and the solidarity of the free world—all are 9 involved.’’. 10 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con- 11 gress that— 12 (1) foreign investment provides substantial eco- 13 nomic benefits to the United States, including the 14 promotion of economic growth, productivity, com- 15 petitiveness, and job creation, thereby enhancing na- 16 tional security; 17 (2) maintaining the commitment of the United 18 States to an open investment policy encourages 19 other countries to reciprocate and helps open new 20 foreign markets for United States businesses; 21 (3) it should continue to be the policy of the 22 United States to enthusiastically welcome and sup- 23 port foreign investment, consistent with the protec- 24 tion of national security; g:\VHLC\072318\072318.006.xml July 23, 2018 (9:03 a.m.) VerDate Nov 24 2008 09:03 Jul 23, 2018 Jkt 000000 (703730 5) PO 00000 Frm 01367 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERY~1\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASCR19.XML G:\CMTE\AS\19\C\ASCR19.XML 1368 1 (4) at the same time, the national security land- 2 scape has shifted in recent years, and so has the na- 3 ture of the investments that pose the greatest poten- 4 tial risk to national security, which warrants an ap- 5 propriate modernization of the processes and au- 6 thorities of the Committee on Foreign Investment in 7 the United States and of the United States export 8 control system; 9 (5) the Committee on Foreign Investment in 10 the United States plays a critical role in protecting 11 the national security of the United States, and, 12 therefore, it is essential that the member agencies of 13 the Committee are adequately resourced and able to 14 hire appropriately qualified individuals in a timely 15 manner, and that those individuals’ security clear- 16 ances are processed as a high priority; 17 (6) the President should conduct a more robust 18 international outreach effort to urge and help allies 19 and partners of the United States to establish proc- 20 esses that are similar to the Committee on Foreign 21 Investment in the United States to screen foreign in- 22 vestments for national security risks and to facilitate 23 coordination;

4 (8) any penalties imposed by the United States 5 Government with respect to an individual or entity 6 pursuant to a determination that the individual or 7 entity has violated sanctions imposed by the United 8 States or the export control laws of the United 9 States should not be reversed for reasons unrelated 10 to the national security of the United States; and 11 (9) the Committee on Foreign Investment in 12 the United States should continue to review trans- 13 actions for the purpose of protecting national secu- 14 rity and should not consider issues of national inter- 15 est absent a national security nexus. 16 (c) SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CONSIDERATION OF 17 COVERED TRANSACTIONS.—It is the sense of Congress 18 that, when considering national security risks, the Com19 mittee on Foreign Investment in the United States may 20 consider— 21 (1) whether a covered transaction involves a 22 country of special concern that has a demonstrated 23 or declared strategic goal of acquiring a type of crit- 24 ical technology or critical infrastructure that would g:\VHLC\072318\072318.006.xml July 23, 2018 (9:03 a.m.) VerDate Nov 24 2008 09:03 Jul 23, 2018 Jkt 000000 (703730 5) PO 00000 Frm 01369 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERY~1\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASCR19.XML G:\CMTE\AS\19\C\ASCR19.XML 1370 1 affect United States leadership in areas related to 2 national security;

STATEMENT OF POLICY. The following is the policy of the United States: 3 (1) To use export controls only after full con- 4 sideration of the impact on the economy of the 5 United States and only to the extent necessary— 6 (A) to restrict the export of items which 7 would make a significant contribution to the 8 military potential of any other country or com- 9 bination of countries which would prove detri- 10 mental to the national security of the United 11 States; and 12 (B) to restrict the export of items if nec- 13 essary to further significantly the foreign policy 14 of the United States or to fulfill its declared 15 international obligations. 16 (2) The national security and foreign policy of 17 the United States require that the export, reexport, 18 and in-country transfer of items, and specific activi- 19 ties of United States persons, wherever located, be 20 controlled for the following purposes: 21 (A) To control the release of items for use 22 in— 23 (i) the proliferation of weapons of 24 mass destruction or of conventional weap- 25 ons; g:\VHLC\072318\072318.006.xml July 23, 2018 (9:03 a.m.) VerDate Nov 24 2008 09:03 Jul 23, 2018 Jkt 000000 (703730 5) PO 00000 Frm 01465 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERY~1\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASCR19.XML G:\CMTE\AS\19\C\ASCR19.XML 1466 1 (ii) the acquisition of destabilizing 2 numbers or types of conventional weapons; 3 (iii) acts of terrorism; 4 (iv) military programs that could pose 5 a threat to the security of the United 6 States or its allies; or 7 (v) activities undertaken specifically to 8 cause significant interference with or dis- 9 ruption of critical infrastructure. 10 (B) To preserve the qualitative military su- 11 periority of the United States. 12 (C) To strengthen the United States de- 13 fense industrial base. 14 (D) To carry out the foreign policy of the 15 United States, including the protection of 16 human rights and the promotion of democracy. 17 (E) To carry out obligations and commit- 18 ments under international agreements and ar- 19 rangements, including multilateral export con- 20 trol regimes. 21 (F) To facilitate military interoperability 22 between the United States and its North Atlan- 23 tic Treaty Organization (NATO) and other 24 close allies. g:\VHLC\072318\072318.006.xml July 23, 2018 (9:03 a.m.) VerDate Nov 24 2008 09:03 Jul 23, 2018 Jkt 000000 (703730 5) PO 00000 Frm 01466 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERY~1\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASCR19.XML G:\CMTE\AS\19\C\ASCR19.XML 1467 1 (G) To ensure national security controls 2 are tailored to focus on those core technologies 3 and other items that are capable of being used 4 to pose a serious national security threat to the 5 United States. 6 (3) The national security of the United States 7 requires that the United States maintain its leader- 8 ship in the science, technology, engineering, and 9 manufacturing sectors, including foundational tech- 10 nology that is essential to innovation. Such leader- 11 ship requires that United States persons are com- 12 petitive in global markets. The impact of the imple- 13 mentation of this part on such leadership and com- 14 petitiveness must be evaluated on an ongoing basis 15 and applied in imposing controls under sections 16 1753 and 1754 to avoid negatively affecting such 17 leadership. 18 (4) The national security and foreign policy of 19 the United States require that the United States 20 participate in multilateral organizations and agree- 21 ments regarding export controls on items that are 22 consistent with the policy of the United States, and 23 take all the necessary steps to secure the adoption 24 and consistent enforcement, by the governments of g:\VHLC\072318\072318.006.xml July 23, 2018 (9:03 a.m.) VerDate Nov 24 2008 09:03 Jul 23, 2018 Jkt 000000 (703730 5) PO 00000 Frm 01467 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERY~1\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASCR19.XML G:\CMTE\AS\19\C\ASCR19.XML 1468 1 such countries, of export controls on items that are 2 consistent with such policy. 3 (5) Export controls should be coordinated with 4 the multilateral export control regimes. Export con- 5 trols that are multilateral are most effective, and 6 should be tailored to focus on those core technologies 7 and other items that are capable of being used to 8 pose a serious national security threat to the United 9 States and its allies. 10 (6) Export controls applied unilaterally to items 11 widely available from foreign sources generally are 12 less effective in preventing end-users from acquiring 13 those items. Application of unilateral export controls 14 should be limited for purposes of protecting specific 15 United States national security and foreign policy 16 interests. 17 (7) The effective administration of export con- 18 trols requires a clear understanding both inside and 19 outside the United States Government of which 20 items are controlled and an efficient process should 21 be created to regularly update the controls, such as 22 by adding or removing such items. 23 (8) The export control system must ensure that 24 it is transparent, predictable, and timely, has the 25 flexibility to be adapted to address new threats in g:\VHLC\072318\072318.006.xml July 23, 2018 (9:03 a.m.) VerDate Nov 24 2008 09:03 Jul 23, 2018 Jkt 000000 (703730 5) PO 00000 Frm 01468 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERY~1\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASCR19.XML G:\CMTE\AS\19\C\ASCR19.XML 1469 1 the future, and allows seamless access to and shar- 2 ing of export control information among all relevant 3 United States national security and foreign policy 4 agencies. 5 (9) Implementation and enforcement of United 6 States export controls require robust capabilities in 7 monitoring, intelligence, and investigation, appro- 8 priate penalties for violations, and the ability to 9 swiftly interdict unapproved transfers. 10 (10) Export controls complement and are a 11 critical element of the national security policies un- 12 derlying the laws and regulations governing foreign 13 direct investment in the United States, including 14 controlling the transfer of critical technologies to 15 certain foreign persons. Thus, the President, in co- 16 ordination with the Secretary, the Secretary of De- 17 fense, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of En- 18 ergy, and the heads of other Federal agencies, as ap- 19 propriate, should have a regular and robust process 20 to identify the emerging and other types of critical 21 technologies of concern and regulate their release to 22 foreign persons as warranted regardless of the na- 23 ture of the underlying transaction. Such identifica- 24 tion efforts should draw upon the resources and ex- 25 pertise of all relevant parts of the United States g:\VHLC\072318\072318.006.xml July 23, 2018 (9:03 a.m.) VerDate Nov 24 2008 09:03 Jul 23, 2018 Jkt 000000 (703730 5) PO 00000 Frm 01469 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERY~1\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASCR19.XML G:\CMTE\AS\19\C\ASCR19.XML 1470 1 Government, industry, and academia.

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 2019 was $708.1 billion. Of this amount, $617.1 billion was requested for base Department of Defense programs, $69.0 billion was requested for overseas contingency operations, $21.8 billion was requested for national security programs in the Department of Energy and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, and $214.0 million for defense-related activities. The conference agreement would authorize $708.1 billion in fiscal year 2019, including $616.9 billion for base Department of Defense programs, $69.0 billion for overseas contingency operations, $21.9 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 2019 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 Columbia-class submarine advance procurement The budget request included $3.0 billion in line item 1 of Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy for Columbia-class submarine advance procurement. The House bill would authorize an increase of $82.7 million above the request. The Senate amendment would authorize the funding level in the request. The agreement authorizes an increase of $237.0 million above the request. The conferees' intent in authorizing additional funds for submarine industrial base expansion is to ensure second- and third-tier contractors are able to meet increased production requirements. The conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy to notify the congressional defense committees within 30 days of obligating funds provided for submarine industrial base expansion 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 expanding the capabilities of the second- and third-tier contractors in the submarine industrial base should lead to greater cost savings and improved efficiency as production increases to meet the Columbia-class schedule and higher requirement for Virginia-class 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 appropriations for procurement at the levels identified in section 4101 of division D of this Act. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 101). The House recedes. SUBTITLE B—ARMY PROGRAMS National Guard and reserve component equipment report (sec. 111) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 111) that would require a joint assessment by the Army and National Guard on efforts to achieve parity among the active component, the Army Reserve, and the Army National Guard with respect to equipment and capabilities. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Deployment by the Army of an interim cruise missile defense capability (sec. 112) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 111) that would direct the Army to procure an alternate short-term option to fill its cruise missile defense gap with existing systems and accelerate the Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) system independently of Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System (IBCS) deployment, leveraging entities such as the Defense Digital Service or the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental, and to report the determination of that short-term option to the congressional defense committees no later than 90 days after the enactment of this Act. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense to certify the need for the Army to fill the gap in cruise missile defense prior to deployment of such a capability, subject to appropriations. Further, the amendment would urge the Army to consider a range of directed energy solutions for the deployment of the 2023 interim capability deployment date and remove the requirement for locations of deployment for such a capability. The conferees are deeply concerned about the paucity of land-based cruise missile defense capabilities and the Army’s corresponding inability to adequately protect the joint force's fixed site systems, such as airfields and logistical depots. Integrated air and missile defense is critical for joint operations, but assets are not currently ready to counter an adversary's potential complex, integrated attack, thus leaving critical assets vulnerable. As outlined by the National Defense Strategy, cruise missile defense is a critical capability to defend against Russian and Chinese threats. Without this capability, the committee is concerned the U.S. Army will fail to successfully perform its mission to protect the joint force. For these reasons, the conferees strongly urge the Army to consider deployment of the interim capability be prioritized in locations for deployment of air bases and significant fixed site locations in Europe and Asia for the purpose of the protection of such bases and locations against potential cruise missile threats. The conferees further recommend that the Army consider force structure requirements for the interim capability and plan accordingly in order to ensure full support of such a system once deployed. SUBTITLE C—NAVY PROGRAMS Procurement authority for Ford class aircraft carrier program (sec. 121) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 122) that would authorize the construction of one Ford-class aircraft carrier designated CVN-81. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require a certification prior to awarding a contract authorized by this provision. The conferees note that the Department of Defense has been able to achieve program efficiencies and cost savings by using multiyear and block buy contracting with many weapons programs, to include shipbuilding. If the Department of the Navy intends to pursue a two-ship procurement of CVN-80 and CVN-81 outside the title 10, United States Code, parameters for a multiyear contract, the conferees expect that entering into such contract would be based on rigorous analysis with a sound business case and substantial savings. Earlier this year, the Navy issued a request for proposal soliciting information on a potential contract to acquire two Ford-class aircraft carriers (CVN–80 and CVN–81). The conferees are disappointed that no related information was provided to the congressional defense committees to enable fulsome consideration of the associated required legislative authorities during the development of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019. Nonetheless, the conferees believe a two-ship procurement of CVN-80 and CVN-81 could result in significant cost savings. Accordingly, this provision would provide the necessary authorities for implementing such an approach, if the Secretary of Defense certifies supporting analysis prepared and provided by the milestone decision authority for the carrier replacement program, which is the Department of the Navy Service Acquisition Executive. It is the conferees' intent that the Secretary of Defense review such analysis and, if the Secretary deems it appropriate, make the certification without performing any separate cost assessments or analyses. The conferees view such a process as consistent with ongoing efforts to reduce the time associated with acquisition decisions, push acquisition authorities and accountability to the Services, and ensure that the Secretary of Defense retains visibility and ultimate authority over acquisition matters in the Department. Full ship shock trial for Ford class aircraft carrier (sec. 122) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 123) that would ensure that full ship shock trials results are incorporated in the construction of the Ford-class aircraft carrier designated CVN-81. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Sense of Congress on accelerated production of aircraft carriers (sec. 123) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 121) that would express the sense of Congress as to aircraft carrier force structure. Additionally, this section would modify section 5062 of title 10, United States Code, by increasing the required aircraft carrier force structure from 11 to 12 operational aircraft carriers by September 30, 2022. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the sense of Congress on accelerated production of aircraft carriers.

The conferees believe that Department of Defense (DOD) civil affairs and military information support activities are complementary and reinforcing and are an important tool to support the military objectives of the combatant commands. Furthermore, especially in an Embassy-based environment, such activities by DOD personnel can be further complemented and reinforced by public diplomacy activities of the State Department and stabilization or development activities by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Furthermore, the conferees believe that reserve component military information support and civil affairs personnel could be better utilized to augment special operations forces. Therefore, the conferees direct the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, in coordination with the Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, to submit a report on civil affairs and military information support to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives not later than March 1, 2019.

The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 892). The Senate recedes. While the Secretary of the Army completes the report required under this provision, the conferees strongly encourage the Secretary to continue proactively identifying and adopting the best practices of commercial marketing techniques to better identify eligible populations. Such efforts should include a focus on methods that use data to most effectively identify, reach, and engage potential recruits through digital and other forms of advertising to address recruiting shortfalls due to misdirected marketing campaigns.

Competitive category matters The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 508) that would amend section 621 of title 10, United States Code, to require that service secretaries establish competitive categories by grouping officers occupying similar qualifications, specialties, occupations, or ratings. The provision would also prohibit the practice of requiring service secretaries to provide consistent promotion timing or promotion opportunity among various competitive categories in each military Service. The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Promotion zone matters The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 509) that would amend section 623 of title 10, United States Code, to require service secretaries to align officer promotion zones with desired officer management outcomes described in the Annual Defense Manpower Requirements Report. The provision would also prohibit service secretaries from determining the number of officers in a promotion zone on the basis of the year in which officers receive their original appointment to their current grade, a practice commonly referred as "year group management." The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Placement of National Guard military technicians (dual status) in the competitive service The House bill contained a provision (sec. 511) that would amend section 10508 of title 10, United States Code, to designate dual-status military technician positions that were required to be converted to civilian employees under title 5, United States Code, in the fiscal year 2017 and 2018 National Defense Authorization Acts as competitive, not excepted, service positions.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that similar authority to reimburse State or local governments for disaster relief services provided by the Department of Defense already exists under section 5170b of title 42, United States Code. Pilot program for Explosive Ordnance Disposal-qualified members of the Army National Guard to support civil authorities The House bill contained a provision (sec. 519) that would authorize the Secretary of the Army to carry out a pilot program under which Explosive Ordnance Disposal-qualified members of the Army National Guard may conduct planning and immediate response defense support to civil authorities.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note the substantial changes that have been made to the boards for correction of military records and discharge review boards over the past several years. While these provisions have greatly enhanced an applicant’s ability to have their application thoroughly and fairly considered by the board, it has also increased the processing time for these actions. These additional protections, coupled with the boards’ staff and information technology limitations, have resulted in several of the boards repeatedly failing to meet congressionally-mandated processing times. As a result, the conferees direct the secretaries of the military departments to each provide a report by February 1, 2019, analyzing the causes of their backlogs, what efforts and being undertaken to remedy these backlogs, and what additional resources are needed to meet congressionallymandated processing times.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Modification of Military Rules of Evidence to exclude admissibility of general military character toward probability of innocence in any offense not strictly related to performance of military duties The House bill contained a provision (sec. 534) that would amend Rule 404(a) of the Military Rules of Evidence contained in the Manual for Courts-Martial to provide that the general military character of an accused is not admissible for the purpose of showing the probability of innocence of the accused unless the offense is strictly and solely related to the performance of military duties. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to direct the Joint Service Committee on Military Justice to examine this issue and provide the findings and recommendations of the study to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives no later than February 1, 2019. Repeal of 15-year statute of limitations on motions or requests for review of discharge or dismissal from the Armed Forces The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 535) that would amend section 1553 of title 10, United States Code, to repeal the 15-year statute of limitations on filing claims for review of a discharge or dismissal by service discharge review boards. The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Treatment of claims relating to military sexual trauma in correction of military records and review of discharge or dismissal proceedings The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 536) that would amend sections 1552 and 1553 of title 10, United States Code, to clarify the treatment of claims for review of a discharge or dismissal relating to military sexual trauma in correction of military records and review of discharge or dismissal proceedings. The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Consideration of application for transfer for a student of a military service academy who is the victim of a sexual assault or related offense The House bill contained a provision (sec. 542) that would require the Secretary concerned to expedite the consideration and approval of an application for an inter-academy transfer submitted by a cadet of a military academy who has been the victim of sexual assault. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The Conferees believe that providing an option for a cadet or midshipman, who was sexually assaulted, to request a transfer to another academy should be explored. Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to study the feasibility of establishing a process to accommodate such request and provide a briefing on the results of the study to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives not later than March 1, 2019. If the Secretary determines it is feasible to establish a process, the briefing should include any legislative authorities required.

The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note that officers who accept tuition assistance for off-duty education incur an active duty service obligation. Tuition assistance is an important retention tool and a particularly valuable benefit at a time when costs for education continue to increase. Therefore the conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a review of retention data associated with officers who accept tuition assistance payments. This review should, at a minimum, include the following elements: (1) The average annual number of officer personnel who accept tuition assistance, (2) The average number of years of commissioned service of officers when beginning to accept tuition assistance, (3) The average number of additional years an officer is retained on active duty following completion of tuition assistance payments; and (4) An assessment of the effect of switching the active duty service obligation for accepting tuition assistance from a policy that allows tuition assistance service obligations to be served concurrent to other service commitments an officer may have, to a policy that requires tuition assistance service obligations be served consecutively with any other active duty service obligation. The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United States to provide preliminary observations to the Committees on Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by the end of February 2019. At that time, a final product due date will be determined. Extension of pilot program to assist members in obtaining postservice employment The House bill contained a provision (sec. 555) that would amend section 555 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ‘‘Buck’’ McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113–291) to extend the authority for the pilot program under this section to September 30, 2023.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note the importance of ensuring military skills and experience can be applied to gainful civilian employment and therefore direct the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a review of the employment assistance programs authorized by section 1143 of title 10, United States Code, and to provide preliminary observations to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by the end of February 2019. At that time, a final product due date will be determined. The review shall include: (1) A description of the content of any relevant databases used to record training performed by servicemembers that may by applicable for future civilian employment; (2) A listing and description, to include usage rates, of employment assistance centers within the Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS); (3) An assessment of DOD and DHS procedures to release servicemember names and other pertinent information to civilian employers, organizations, and State employment agencies; and (4) An evaluation of the ability of DOD to confirm the accuracy and authenticity of a servicemember's certifications upon a State's request within the required 5 business day timeline. Activities to increase awareness of apprenticeship programs The House bill contained a provision (sec. 559) that would require the Secretary of Defense to include, as part of service members’ transition counseling, information on apprenticeship programs and the use of veterans’ benefits to pay for these programs. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that apprenticeships provide a valuable career option for separating servicemembers and encourage the Department of Defense to ensure information on apprenticeship programs, and appropriate funding options, is easily accessible to those servicemembers who may be interested in pursuing an apprenticeship upon separating from the military. Report on availability of college credit for skills acquired during military service The House bill contained a provision (sec. 560A) that would require the Secretary of Defense in consultation with the Secretaries of Veterans Affairs, Education, and Labor to submit to Congress a report on the transfer of skills into equivalent college credits or technical certifications for members of the Armed Forces leaving the military. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Information regarding county veterans service officers The House bill contained a provision (sec. 560B) that would require the Secretary of Defense to ensure that a separating or retiring member of the Armed Forces may elect to have their Department of Defense form DD-214 transmitted to the appropriate county veterans service office.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Additional matters for assessment and report on childcare services of the Department of Defense The House bill contained a provision (sec. 562) that would add additional issues for assessment related to military family childcare under the report required by section 575 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91). The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that Senate report accompanying S. 2987 (S. Rept. 115-262) directs the Department of Defense to include in its assessment of the use of subsidized, off-installation childcare services, required by subsection (a) of section 575 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115–91), an assessment on modifying the rate of use of subsidized, off-installation childcare services by military families in light of the full implementation of MilitaryChildCare.com, including whether the availability of off-installation childcare services for military families could be increased by altering policies of the Armed Forces on capping the amount of subsidies for military families for such services based on the cost of living for families and the average cost of civilian childcare services. Flexible maternity and parental leave The House bill contained a provision (sec. 566) that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish and implement policies and procedures that permit a military parent to take, if requested by the military parent, flexible and non-continuous maternity and parental leave. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Report on wage determination for certain programs The House bill contained a provision (sec. 567) that would require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the National Guard Bureau, to coordinate with the Secretary of Labor to obtain a wage determination under section 6703(1) of title 41, United States Code for contract workers at Family Assistance Centers, Family Readiness and Support programs, Yellow Ribbon Reintegration programs, and Recruit Sustainment programs. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes.

Report on awards for cost-saving ideas The House bill contained a provision (sec. 575) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on: (1) The total number of awards and commendations presented to any military personnel for a cost-saving idea during the prior fiscal year; (2) A total estimate of the total savings as a result of the implementation of cost-saving ideas for which an award or commendation was presented; and (3) A description of how the Secretary plans to expand incentive programs for the purpose described in this section and streamline such programs. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees are supportive of recent Department of Defense initiatives to redesign or streamline processes to save taxpayer dollars. However, while major department-wide savings are important, frequently military and civilian personnel identify smaller cost-saving opportunities in the course of performing their normal duties. These cost-saving ideas are frequently unnoticed or ignored by the chains of command, resulting in lost opportunities to address needless waste and inefficiency. The conferees encourage service secretaries to take demonstrable steps to empower their personnel to identify and implement cost-saving ideas whenever possible, and widely publicize successes to achieve greater savings at scale. Pilot program on participation of military spouses in Transition Assistance Program activities The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 575) that would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot program, at not fewer than five military installations, to assess the feasibility and advisability of permitting military spouses to participate in activities under the Transition Assistance Program.

Cybersecurity educational programs and awareness in Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps The House bill contained a provision (sec. 587) that would require the Secretaries of the military departments to encourage the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) to include cybersecurity educational programs and awareness in the curriculum of the Corps, including lessons on cyber defense, risks of cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the military, and pursuing studies and careers in cybersecurity and related fields within the Department of Defense. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that numerous JROTC programs are already developing cyber-related educational programs as well as participating in cyber competitions and events. The conferees are supportive of these efforts and encourage service secretaries to search for and develop additional opportunities to provide cyber-related experience to JROTC participants and units. Publication of guidance and information on housing markets near certain military installations The House bill contained a provision (sec. 588) that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and make publicly available guidance and information about the housing market around military installations in the continental United States.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Exemption from repayment of voluntary separation pay The House bill included a provision (sec. 590) that would amend section 1175a(j) of title 10, United States Code, to exempt servicemembers involuntarily recalled to active duty or full-time National Guard duty, and servicemembers who incur a total service-connected disability in the course of such duty from the requirement to repay voluntary separation pay. The Senate amendment included no similar provision. The House recedes. Service of wounded warriors as remotely piloted aircraft pilots or remotely piloted aircraft sensor operators in the Air Force The House bill contained a provision (sec. 591) that would require the Secretary of the Air Force to establish a program under which a qualified wounded warrior who faces retirement or separation from the Armed Forces for physical disability may continue, in lieu of such retirement or separation, to serve in the Armed Forces as a remotely piloted aircraft pilot or remotely piloted aircraft sensor operator in the Air Force. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Garnishment to satisfy judgment rendered for physically, sexually, or emotionally abusing a child The House bill contained a provision (sec. 593) that would amend section 1408 of title 10, United States Code, to remove the limitations on the amount of disposable retired pay that would be subject to garnishment of retired pay to satisfy a judgement rendered for abuse of a child. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that sections 8345 and 8467 of title 5, United States Code, currently provide for the garnishment of federal civilian retirement payments, without limitation on the amount of disposable retired pay subject to garnishment, in accordance with the terms of a court order or similar process in the nature of garnishment for the enforcement of a judgment against the annuitant for physically, sexually, or emotionally abusing a child. However, section 1408 of title 10, United States Code, limits the amount of disposable military retired pay subject to garnishment for such judgments to 25 percent. The conferees therefore direct the Secretary of Defense, no later than February 1, 2019, to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on the advisability and feasibility of removing the 25 percent cap on garnishment of disposable military retired pay. Redesignation of the Commandant of the United States Air Force Institute of Technology as President of the United States Air Force Institute of Technology The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 593) that would re-designate the Commandant of the United States Air Force Institute of Technology as the President of the United States Air Force Institute of Technology.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provisions. The House recedes. The conferees are aware of ongoing Department of Defense efforts to transition various manuals and other documents to electronic formats. These efforts are critical to increase the effectiveness of information transfer and better align the Department of Defense with private sector best practices. The conferees urge the Secretary of Defense to continue transitioning all hard-copy manuals, publications, and other documents into electronic format suitable for viewing on mobile devices. Limitation on justifications entered by military recruiters for enlistment or accession of individuals into the Armed Forces The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 594) that would restrict military recruiters from changing the reasons for an individual entering into the Armed Forces to anything other than that individual’s stated reason. The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees are concerned with how the Services evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of their marketing efforts. This Act contains a provision requiring the Army to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the Army Marketing and Advertising Program. However, the conferees are concerned that the other Services may also lack sufficient data to properly evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of their marketing efforts. Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing, no later than February 1, 2019, on the feasibility and advisability of standardizing the methods for collecting marketing data in support of effectiveness and efficiency evaluations.

The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Eligibility of reserve component members for high-deployment allowance for lengthy or numerous deployments and frequent mobilizations (sec. 602) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 606) that would amend section 436 of title 37, United States Code, to authorize reserve component personnel ordered to Active Duty under section 12304b of title 10, United States Code, to receive a high-deployment allowance for frequent or lengthy deployments. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Prohibition on per diem allowance reductions based on the duration of temporary duty assignment or civilian travel (sec. 603) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 605) that would halt implementation of the 2014 Department of Defense per diem policy, direct the Secretary of Defense to issue a report on options to reduce travel costs, and require notification of any subsequent changes to the per diem policies following the report. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 631) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by no later than 120 days after enactment of this Act providing a cost-benefit analysis of the long-term per diem policy rate change that became effective on November 1, 2014, consistent with the principles and requirements of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-94. The Senate provision would further provide that should the Secretary fail to deliver this analysis within 120 days after enactment of this Act, or if the analysis demonstrates that the costs of this policy change outweigh the benefits, and would continue to outweigh the benefits, then the policy would revert to the policy in effect as of October 31, 2014.

Eligibility of reserve component members for nonreduction in pay while serving in the uniformed services or National Guard (sec. 605) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 607) that would amend section 5538(a) of title 5, United States Code, that would include reserve component personnel ordered to Active Duty under section 12304b of title 10, United States Code, under existing protections preventing reduction in pay while absent from a position of employment with the Federal Government. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Military Housing Privatization Initiative (sec. 606) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 604) that would assure that the Basic Allowance for Housing reduction directed by section 403 of title 10, United States Code, would not take effect in fiscal year 2019, ensuring that the Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI) housing recapitalization efforts are not reduced. The committee remains concerned about the reduction in BAH and its effect on the recapitalization of these housing units. The committee believes that military families must be provided with on-base housing that is safe and periodically modernized. Additionally, this section would require the Secretary of Defense to present a plan to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by December 1, 2018, to provide for a permanent financial solution to the long term MHPI recapitalization problem. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 604) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to pay up to 2 percent of the calculated Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rate to specific lessors who provide on-base housing as part of the Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI). The Senate recedes with an amendment that would authorize additional payments only to those MHPI projects in existence on or before September 30, 2014. SUBTITLE B—BONUSES AND SPECIAL AND INCENTIVE PAYS One-year extension of certain expiring bonus and special pay authorities (sec. 611) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 611) that would extend, through December 31, 2019, income replacement payments for reserve component members experiencing extended and frequent mobilization for Active Duty service; would extend two critical recruitment and retention incentive programs for reserve component health care professionals; would extend accession and retention incentives for nuclear-qualified officers; and would extend the consolidated special and incentive pay authorities added to subchapter II of chapter 5 of title 37, United States Code, by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181). Additionally, this section would extend the authority of the Secretary of Defense to prescribe a temporary increase in the rates of basic allowance for housing otherwise prescribed for a military housing area or a portion of a military housing area or portion thereof located in an area covered by a declaration by the President of major natural disaster. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 611) that would extend for 1 year the general bonus authority for enlisted members, the general bonus authority for officers, special aviation incentive pay and bonus authorities for officers, special bonus and incentive pay authorities for officers in health professions, and contracting bonus for cadets and midshipmen enrolled in the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps.

SUBTITLE C—OTHER MATTERS Extension of certain morale, welfare, and recreation privileges to certain veterans and their caregivers (sec. 621) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 629) that would amend Chapter 54 of title 10, United States Code, to extend eligibility for commissary and morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) privileges to certain veterans and veterans' caregivers. This provision would authorize the Secretary to impose a user fee on eligible individuals to purchase merchandise at a commissary or MWR resale facility that would offset any increase in expenses arising from this provision. Additionally, this provision would authorize an appropriation for updating EPACS for military commissaries. This provision would take effect at the end of the 90-day period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would: (1) Remove the authorization of an appropriation for updating EPACS; and (2) Require this provision to take effect on January 1, 2020.

Space-available travel on Department of Defense aircraft for veterans with service-connected disabilities rated as total (sec. 624) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 622) that would amend section 2641b of title 10, United States Code, to authorize space-available travel for disabled veterans with a service-connected, permanent disability rated as total. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 570) that would amend section 2641b of title 10, United States Code, to authorize veterans with a permanent service-connected total disability rating to travel on military aircraft on a space-available basis. The committee notes that this provision would also ensure the primary purpose of space-available travel remains transporting servicemembers and their dependents. The House recedes. The conferees note with disappointment that the report on this topic mandated by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) is over one year late and reiterate their interest in the results of the requested analysis. Mandatory increase in insurance coverage under Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance for members deployed to combat theaters of operation (sec. 625) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 603) that would amend section 1967(a)(3) of title 38, United States Code, to mandate, in the case of a member who elects to not be insured under a Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) plan at the maximum available coverage, an automatic increase in SGLI coverage to the maximum level if the servicemember is deployed to a combat zone.

Access to military installations for certain surviving spouses and other next of kin of members of the Armed Forces who die while on active duty or certain reserve duty (sec. 626) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 621) that would require service secretaries to provide for issuance of a standardized Gold Star Installation Access Card to the widow and dependent children of a deceased servicemember to facilitate their ability to gain unescorted access to military installations for the purpose of attending events, visiting gravesites, and obtaining benefits and services to which they are entitled or eligible. The provision would also authorize service secretaries to provide installation access cards to parents and other next of kin of a deceased servicemember. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 570) that would require the Secretary of Defense, acting jointly with the Secretary of Homeland Security, to establish procedures whereby an eligible surviving spouse and certain other next of kin of members of the Armed Forces may obtain access without escort, as appropriate, to military installations to receive benefits to which they may be entitled by law or policy. This provision would require establishment of such procedures not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act. The House recedes with a technical amendment. Study and report on development of a single defense resale system (sec. 627) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 625) that would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of consolidating military resale entities into a single defense resale system. The provision would require the Secretary to provide a report on the study to the congressional defense committees not later than January 1, 2019. Additionally, the provision would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of any funds authorized to be appropriated, or otherwise made available in this Act, for the purpose of implementing consolidation of the military resale entities until October 1, 2019. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED Prompt review of request for imminent danger pay The House bill contained a provision (sec. 601) that would amend section 310 of title 37, United States Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to issue a determination, within 90 days, when a geographic combatant commander submits a request to add a location to the Imminent Danger Pay eligibility list. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that Imminent Danger Pay (IDP) is designed to provide additional compensation to servicemembers on duty in an area in which the member was in imminent danger of being exposed to hostile fire. Despite this statutory language, the Department of Defense has been slow in amending the list of geographic areas where deployed servicemembers would be eligible for IDP. This is particularly troubling given the global nature and geographic unpredictability of today's conflicts. In 2017, the Department's delays in modifying its IDP policy resulted in servicemembers deployed to Niger, Mali, and northern Cameroon being ineligible for IDP payments despite suffering several casualties and being routinely exposed to hostile fire. The Department of Defense took nearly 9 months to rectify its error after four servicemembers were killed while deployed to Africa. These delays in updating the Department's IDP policy caused unnecessary financial frustration and hardship for servicemembers deployed to Africa to include the families of four servicemembers who were tragically killed while deployed to Niger. Therefore the committee strongly encourages the Secretary of Defense to make determinations on requests for IDP within ninety days of receiving such requests. Fiscal year 2019 increase in military basic pay The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 601) that would authorize a pay raise of 2.6 percent for all members of the uniformed services effective January 1, 2019. The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note that current law authorizes automatic military pay raises consistent with the Economic Cost Index, which for calendar year 2019 amounts to a 2.6 percent raise in basic pay for all members of the uniformed services. Application of basic allowance for housing to members of the uniformed services in the Virgin Islands The House bill contained a provision (sec. 602) that would amend section 403 of title 37, United States Code, to apply Basic Allowance for Housing to service members in the Virgin Islands. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Department of Defense proposal for a pay table for members of the Armed Forces using steps in grade based on time in grade rather than time in service The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 603) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a proposal for a time in grade-based pay table for military personnel. This provision would also require the Comptroller General to review the proposal and assess its effect on recruitment and retention. The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. 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. 605) 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. Sense of Congress regarding the widows' tax The House bill contained a provision (sec. 607) that would express the sense of Congress that: (1) Surviving spouses and dependent children will not be subject to a full offset of survivor benefit plan payments by dependency and indemnity compensation; and (2) Congress must work to eliminate the widows' tax entirely. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees agree that Congress should work to eliminate the full offset of survivor benefit plan payments by dependency and indemnity compensation. Reevaluation of BAH for the military housing area including Staten Island The House bill contained a provision (sec. 608) that would require the Secretary of Defense to reevaluate the rate of basic allowance for housing for the military housing area that includes Staten Island, New York. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Temporary adjustment in rate of basic allowance for housing following identification of significant underdetermination of civilian housing costs for housing areas The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 608) that would amend section 403(b) of title 37, United States Code, to allow the Secretary of Defense to temporarily adjust current rates of Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) for a military housing area if the Secretary determines that the actual costs of adequate housing in that military housing area differ from current BAH rates by more than 20 percent. This authority provided by this provision would expire on December 31, 2019. The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Compensation and credit for retired pay purposes for maternity leave taken by members of the reserve components The House bill contained a provision (sec. 609) that would amend section 206(a) of title 37, United States Code, to authorize compensation to members of the reserve component during periods of maternity leave. The provision would also require the period of maternity leave taken by a member of the reserve component count towards the servicemember's entitlement to retired pay. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Advisory boards regarding military commissaries and exchanges The House bill contained a provision (sec. 624) that would require the Secretary of Defense to direct each commanding officer of a military installation with a military commissary or exchange to establish an advisory board comprised of representatives from military or veterans service organizations to advise the commanding officer regarding the interests of patrons and beneficiaries of commissaries and exchanges. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Designation of new beneficiary under the Survivor Benefit Plan The House bill contained a provision (sec. 626) that would amend section 1448(b)(1) of title 10, United States Code, to allow the election of a new beneficiary under the Survivor Benefit Plan by a terminally ill participant. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. TITLE VII—HEALTH CARE PROVISIONS SUBTITLE A—TRICARE AND OTHER HEALTH CARE BENEFITS Cessation of requirement for mental health assessment of members after redeployment from a contingency operation upon discharge or release from the Armed Forces (sec. 701) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 704) that would amend section 1074m(a)(1)(B) of title 10, United States Code, to remove the termination date for the provision of mental health assessments (MHA) for members of the Armed Forces deployed in support of a contingency operation. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 723) that would amend section 1074m of title 10, United States Code, to eliminate the requirement to provide an MHA to a servicemember after redeployment if the individual has been discharged from military service. The conferees note that, under current law, there is no requirement to provide an MHA to a servicemember 90 to 180 days after redeployment if the individual has been discharged; however, the cessation of the requirement to provide an MHA after a member has been discharged does not currently apply to MHAs required at 180 days to 18 months after redeployment and 18 months to 30 months after redeployment. The House recedes. Pilot program on treatment of members of the Armed Forces for post-traumatic stress disorder related to military sexual trauma (sec. 702) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 702) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to conduct a pilot program, not to extend beyond 3 years after the date of the enactment of this Act, to assess the feasibility and advisability of using intensive outpatient programs to treat members of the Armed Forces suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder resulting from military sexual trauma, including treatment for substance use disorder, depression, and other issues related to those conditions.

The Secretary would then submit a final report to the same committees not later than 180 days after completion of the pilot program. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 705). The Senate recedes. SUBTITLE B—HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION Improvement of administration of the Defense Health Agency and military medical treatment facilities (sec. 711) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 711) that would amend section 1073 of title 10, United States Code, by requiring the Department of Defense to transition administration of military medical treatment facilities (MTFs) from the service secretaries to the Director of the Defense Health Agency (DHA) by September 30, 2020. This provision would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from closing or limiting services in any MTF until completion of a transition certification process. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 711) that would amend section 1073c(a) of title 10, United States Code, to improve and enhance the administration of the DHA and MTFs. Under this provision, the DHA would have the following additional authorities to: (1) Direct, control, and serve as the primary rater of the performance of commanders or directors of MTFs; (2) Direct and control any intermediary organizations between the Defense Health Agency and MTFs; (3) Determine the scope of medical care provided at each MTF to meet the military personnel readiness requirements of the senior military operational commander of the military installation; (4) Determine total workforce requirements at each MTF; (5) Direct joint manning at MTFs and intermediary organizations; (6) Establish training and skills sustainment venues for military medical personnel; (7) Address personnel staffing shortages at MTFs; and (8) Approve service nominations for commanders or directors of MTFs.

The amendment would limit closure or downsizing of MTFs until such time the Secretary submits to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a report, which describes the methodology and criteria to close or downsize an MTF. The amendment would prohibit such closure or downsizing until 90 days after the date on which the Secretary submits the report to the committees. In addition, the amendment would prescribe the following subordinate organizations within the DHA: (1) Defense Health Agency Research and Development; and (2) Defense Health Agency Public Health. The amendment would require the Secretary, not later than 270 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, to submit a report to the same committees on the feasibility of establishing an additional subordinate DHA organization, Defense Health Agency Education and Training, led by the President of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.

The provision would authorize the Director to conduct a phased implementation, in compliance with section 1073c of title 10, United States Code, of a new organizational framework with full implementation required not later than October 1, 2020. The provision would establish no more than three health readiness regions in the continental United States, and each region would be led by a commander or director appointed to a grade no higher than major general or rear admiral. Each military department would nominate qualified individuals to serve in those positions, and the Director would select those individuals to serve as health readiness regional commanders or directors under the authority, direction, and control of such Director. Under this provision, the Director would establish a regional hub at a major military medical center in each region to provide complex, specialized medical services. Each regional hub would be geographically located to maximize medical support to combatant commands. The provision would authorize the Director to establish or maintain additional medical centers in locations with large beneficiary populations or locations that serve as the primary readiness platforms of the Armed Forces. In addition, this provision would authorize the Director to establish up to two health readiness regions outside the continental United States.

The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 714). The House recedes. Pilot program on opioid management in the military health system (sec. 716) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 736) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees regarding the actions taken by the Department of Defense to prevent and treat opioid use among dependents of members of the Armed Forces. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 704) that would require the Director of the Defense Health Agency to implement a comprehensive pilot program, for a period of not more than 3 years, to minimize early opioid exposure in beneficiaries under the TRICARE program and to prevent misuse or abuse of opioid medications. The pilot program would begin within 180 days of the date of the enactment of this Act, and it would include elements to maximize opioid safety across the entire continuum of care, consisting of patient, physician or dentist, and pharmacist. Additionally, the provision would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 180 days before the completion of the pilot program, describing the conduct of the program.

Subcontracting price and approved purchasing systems (sec. 824) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 818) that would amend section 893 of the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111–383) to clarify that, for Department of Defense contracts with contractors that have approved purchasing systems as defined by section 44.101 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations, a contracting officer must have a written approval from his or her program manager prior to withholding consent based solely on disagreement with the proposed subcontract price. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Modification of criteria for waivers of requirement for certified cost and price data (sec. 825) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 877) that would repeal section 817(b)(1) of the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107–314) regarding certain determinations required for grants of exceptions to cost or pricing data certification requirements and waivers of cost accounting standards. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 817) that would make a technical change to section 817 of the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107–314; 10 U.S.C. 2306a note). The House recedes. SUBTITLE C—PROVISIONS RELATING TO MAJOR DEFENSE ACQUISITION PROGRAMS Revisions in authority relating to program cost targets and fielding targets for major defense acquisition programs (sec. 831) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 828) that would amend sections 2448a, 2366a, and 2366b of title 10, United States Code, to allow the Secretaries of the military departments, or, in instances where an alternate milestone decision authority for a program has been designated under section 2430(d)(2) of title 10, United States Code, the Secretary of Defense, to establish program cost, fielding, and performance goals in planning major defense acquisition programs. This section would also allow for the delegation of these responsibilities beyond the Deputy Secretary of Defense. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 831) that would amend section 2448a of title 10, United States Code, to clarify that the designated milestone decision authority is the individual responsible for ensuring the accomplishment of the stated goals for a major defense acquisition program.

The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that limits the production of the Comptroller General's assessment to four assessments. 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 Department of Defense is behind other Federal agencies and industry in implementing best practices for acquisition of software and information technology capabilities, to include agile and incremental development methods along with associated training, tools, and infrastructure. The conferees further note that recent years have seen the most significant reform of the Department’s acquisition function since the Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-23), to include expansion of acquisition authorities, organizational realignments, delegation of acquisition program execution to the Services, and rapid acquisition and prototyping authorities and offices. The conferees believe this update to the Comptroller General’s assessments is critical to assisting the defense committees with their oversight, given the role of software and information technology in acquisition programs and initiatives, and the scope of recent acquisition reforms across the Department. SUBTITLE D—PROVISIONS RELATING TO COMMERCIAL ITEMS Revision of definition of commercial item for purposes of Federal acquisition statutes (sec. 836) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that would clarify the definition of commercial items.

The Senate recedes with an amendment that would set the effective date of the new definitions to January 1, 2020 with a detailed implementation plan due to the congressional defense committees on April 1, 2019. Limitation on applicability to Department of Defense commercial contracts of certain provisions of law (sec. 837) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 833) that would update section 2375, section 2533a, and section 2533b of title 10, United States Code, with the clarified definition of commercial products and commercial services. This section would also establish a new section 2375a to limit applicability of certain Executive Orders and regulations. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would update section 2533a, section 2533b, and part of section 2375 of title 10, United States Code, with the clarified definition of commercial products and commercial services. Modifications to procurement through commercial e-commerce portals (sec. 838) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 834) that would amend section 846 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) to allow the Administrator of the General Services Administration to develop procedures for procurement through a commercial e-commerce portal. The procedures must satisfy the requirements for competitive procedures outlined in title 41, United States Code. Additionally, this section would require these procedures to be submitted to the congressional defense committees 30 days prior to implementation. This section would also amend titles 10 and 41, United States Code, by increasing the micro-purchase threshold for procurement through a commercial e-commerce portal from $10,000 to $25,000. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that maintains the micro-purchase threshold at $10,000. Review of Federal acquisition regulations on commercial products, commercial services, and commercially available offthe-shelf items (sec. 839) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 835) that would require a review on Federal acquisition regulations on commercial products, commercial services, and commercially available off-the-shelf items. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment to require a report on the results of the review. SUBTITLE E—INDUSTRIAL BASE MATTERS Report on limited sourcing of specific components for Naval vessels (sec. 841) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 842) that would require the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to the congressional defense committees by March 1, 2019, that provides a market survey and cost assessment associated with limiting competition to domestic sources for certain naval components. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the report to include national security considerations, recommendations from the Secretary of the Navy, and sources in the National Technology and Industrial Base. The report would be limited to components listed in section 2534(a)(3) of title 10, United States Code, and additional specified components for auxiliary ships. The conferees encourage the manufacturers of waterjet marine propulsion systems, azimuth thrusters, and bow thrusters to consider utilizing the process contained in section 844 this Act. Removal of national interest determination requirements for certain entities (sec. 842) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 843) that would streamline the National Industrial Security Program by removing the regulatory requirements relating to National Interest Determinations (NIDs). It would build on section 1712 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), which required a review of whether certain companies "should be exempted from one or more of the foreign ownership, control, or influence [FOCI] requirements of the National Industrial Security Program.” This section would address NIDs as a particularly urgent problem within that set of FOCI requirements authorized for exemption. It would also authorize the Secretary of Defense to accelerate implementation of this policy for contracting entities that have already demonstrated a longstanding commitment to industrial security and have previously been approved for access to proscribed information. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes.

Limitation on procurement of certain items for T–AO–205 program (sec. 847) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 841) 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 no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit procurement in fiscal year 2019 of the components listed in the House provision to manufacturers in the United States for the TAO 205 program. SUBTITLE F—SMALL BUSINESS MATTERS Department of Defense small business strategy (sec. 851) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 851) that would require the Department of Defense to develop and implement a small business strategy to better leverage small businesses as a means to enhance or support mission execution. This section specifies that such a strategy should include plans to integrate small businesses into a holistic view of industry; to realign the Department's small business programs with agency mission under a unified management structure; and to clarify points of entry into the defense market. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note that a unified strategy would create expanded small business engagement in the defense sector by increasing entry points for nontraditional and innovative companies. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to coordinate the development of the strategy with the Department of Defense Office of Small Business Programs. Prompt payments of small business contractors (sec. 852) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 852) would direct Federal agencies to establish a prompt payment goal of 15 days for small business prime contractors. It would also extend the accelerated payment objective to other-than small prime contractors that subcontract with small businesses, and encourage these prime contractors to also accelerate payments to their small business subcontractors. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that limits the provision to the Department of Defense. Increased participation in the Small Business Administration microloan program (sec. 853) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 853) that would amend section 636(m) of title 15, United States Code, by increasing the total limit on outstanding loans from $5.0 million to $6.0 million, and modifying the ratio from 25/75 to 50/50. It would also require the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) to report on rates among microlenders, and for the Comptroller General of the United States to assess SBA oversight of the microloan program.

Amendments to Small Business Innovation Research Program and Small Business Technology Transfer Program (sec. 854) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 854) that would authorize the use of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program funding for administrative costs and expand phase flexibility during fiscal years 2018 through 2022. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would expand phase flexibility during fiscal years 2018 through 2022, require the submission of outstanding reports and evaluations, create a pilot program to accelerate Department of Defense SBIR and STTR awards, direct the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a review of the average and median amount of times that each component of the Department of Defense with an SBIR or STTR program takes to review and make a final decision on proposals submitted under the program, and make modifications to technical and business assistance under the Small Business Act. Construction contract administration (sec. 855) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 855) that would amend section 644 of title 15, United States Code, to require Federal agencies to provide prospective construction contractors with information about an agency's policies and performance on the administration of change orders. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment related to timeframes and circumstances for definitizing orders. Comptroller General study of impact of broadband speed and price on small businesses (sec. 856) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 856) that would direct the Associate Administrator for the Office of Investment and Innovation of the Small Business Administration to designate a senior employee as the "Broadband and Emerging Information Technology Coordinator." The Coordinator would be responsible for connecting small businesses with financing programs, and advising these businesses on how to acquire broadband and new information technology. This section would also direct a biennial report on activities beginning 2 years after the first designation of a Coordinator to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship of the Senate and the Committee on Small Business of the House of Representatives. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would instead direct the Comptroller General of the United States to assess the impact of broadband speed and price on small business concerns. Consolidated budget display for the Department of Defense Small Business Innovation Research Program and Small Business Technology Transfer Program (sec. 857) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 858) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress a budget justification for all activities conducted under the Small Business Innovation Research Program or Small Business Technology Transfer Program during the previous fiscal year. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the Secretary of Defense to report Small Business Innovation Research Program and Small Business Technology Transfer Program funding in a consolidated location in the annual budget justification. The conferees note that the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs have successfully developed and transitioned many technologies into operational use that have supported US military technological superiority, and represent proven and successful outreach and engagement with innovative small businesses. The conferees believe that this provision will enable decision makers in both Congress and the Department to better understand the valuable role that these programs play in overall technological innovation efforts. The conferees affirm the well-established SBIR and STTR funding allocation mechanism already in the program’s statutory authorization which has preserved stability for the program and contributed strongly to its track record of success. The conferees note that nothing in this provision is intended to alter the existing allocation mechanism. Funding for procurement technical assistance program (sec. 858) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 859) that would amend section 2413(b) of title 10, United States Code, to provide Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) the resources necessary to conduct greater outreach and provide expanded support to small businesses. This section would increase the funding caps for PTACs operating on statewide, less than statewide, and eligible tribal locations. This section would also adjust the percentage of Federal funding for PTACs to 75 percent from 65 percent, and would adjust the community contribution to 25 percent from 35 percent. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Authorization for payment of certain costs relating to procurement technical assistance centers (sec. 859) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 862) that would authorize Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) to form an association to pursue matters of common concern, and direct the Secretary of Defense to recognize a PTAC association with a membership of the majority of PTACs.

Puerto Rico businesses (sec. 861) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 864) that would modify the Small Business Act to include a definition for Puerto Rico businesses and identify potential incentives for businesses in a mentor-protégé relationship with Puerto Rico businesses. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. Opportunities for employee-owned business concerns through Small Business Administration loan programs (sec. 862) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 866) that would amend the Small Business Act to expand some loans for small business concerns and direct the Administrator of the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) to undertake outreach and assistance activities, and a report on these activities. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 6006) that would strengthen SBA loan programs to support employee-owned small businesses. The Senate recedes with clarifying and technical amendments. SUBTITLE G—PROVISIONS RELATED TO SOFTWARE AND TECHNICAL DATA MATTERS Validation of proprietary and technical data (sec. 865) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 881) that would amend section 2321(f) of title 10, United States Code, to clarify the application of rights in technical data relating to major weapons systems. This provision would also amend section 2320 of title 10, United States Code, to clarify the application of licensing of appropriate intellectual property to support major weapons systems with regard to preferences for specially negotiated licenses. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would amend only section 2321(f) of title 10, United States Code. The conferees note that Specially Negotiated Licenses are a new concept in government technical data rights and are being interpreted in many different ways by industry and government alike. Therefore, the conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in conjunction with the Service Acquisition Executives, to develop guidelines, training, and policy for the usage and application of specially negotiated licenses to clarify the terms under which such licenses should be used when considering a product support strategy of a major weapon system or subsystem of a major weapon system. The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment is directed to brief the resulting guidelines and other actions to the congressional defense committees no later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act. Continuation of technical data rights during challenges (sec. 866) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 812) that would amend section 2321(i) of title 10, United States Code, to clarify that the government may continue to exercise rights in technical data and noncommercial computer software during the course of a challenge with an incumbent contractor under section 2321(d) of title 10, United States Code, or under procedures established by the Department of Defense, to meet Department of Defense mission requirements and readiness needs during the course of the challenge. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify the circumstances in which the Secretary of Defense or a service secretary, for programs for which milestone decision authority has been delegated, may authorize use of technical data in dispute by issuing notice and a written determination that compelling mission readiness requirements will not permit awaiting the final decision. Requirement for negotiation of technical data price before sustainment of major weapon systems (sec. 867) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 827) that would provide the Department of Defense with additional flexibility on negotiations for appropriate technical data. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify that this provision also applies to the sustainment of major weapon systems. Implementation of recommendations of the final report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on the Design and Acquisition of Software for Defense Systems (sec. 868) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 882) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to implement certain recommendations of the Defense Science Board Task Force in their report on the Design and Acquisition of Software for Defense Systems. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees agree with the report's emphasis on shifting the Department of Defense’s treatment of software as solely a development activity to understanding that it is enduring and that, therefore, traditional models of hardware sustainment are not suited to the treatment of software in the acquisition process. As the Department considers how each recommendation would be implemented, the conferees also encourage the Department to continue to engage the private sector for their best practices and views regarding sustainable software acquisition approaches. Implementation of pilot program to use agile or iterative development methods required under section 873 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (sec. 869) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 883) that would provide additional direction to the Secretary of Defense in implementing the pilot program established under section 873 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115–91). The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment to the list of participating systems; an amendment to make criteria for selecting program participation more permissive; an amendment that directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to establish a Community of Practice on agile or iterative methods and identifies programs that should contribute; and an amendment that directs the Secretary to report certain information on the progress of programs participating in the pilot. The conferees expect the Department to attend to compliance with Section 873 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115–91). The conferees note that the adoption of agile or iterative methods remains a challenge for the Department of Defense, despite the fact that delivery of increments of useful capability no less frequently than every six months is not only a best practice for software-intensive systems but is also a government-wide requirement for such systems. Further, as the Department implements such methods, it is important to ensure good principles of management and oversight are incorporated. In particular, given how frequently programs should be delivering features, having insight to costs and capability delivered is critical to understanding risk and overall return on investment. Report on requiring access to digital technical data in future acquisitions of combat, combat service, and combat support systems (sec. 870) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 240) that would require the Secretary of Defense to prepare and submit a report regarding access to digital technical data, to include that which is necessary to support the production of threedimensional printed parts. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees direct that the study also address the potential impact upon data rights of providers, to include impacts on National Technology and Industrial Base manufacturers developing products for the Department of Defense, including contractors providing data with limited and restricted data rights. SUBTITLE H—OTHER MATTERS Prohibition on acquisition of sensitive materials from nonallied foreign nations (sec. 871) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 873) that would prohibit the acquisition of certain sensitive materials from non-allied foreign nations.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees encourage the Office of Management and Budget to extend by two years submission of the reports specified in section 841(i) of the Carl Levin and Howard P. "Buck" McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113–291) on the use of the authorities in this section in the preceding calendar year, to match the extended sunset date. Data, policy, and reporting on the use of other transactions (sec. 873) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 878) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to submit an annual report on the use of transactions other than contracts, cooperative agreements, and grants, known as other transaction authority, to perform projects, and to include certain information. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 872) that would direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, and the Service Acquisition Executives of the military departments to collect and internally share data on the use of other transactions, and use it to update policies and procedures. The House recedes with an amendment that would combine the data collection and reporting elements of both provisions. Standardization of formatting and public accessibility of Department of Defense reports to Congress (sec. 874) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 879) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services on a plan for standardizing formatting and public accessibility of unclassified Department of Defense reports to Congress, to ensure they are usable. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the Secretary of Defense to prepare plans to address standardization and sharing of reports to Congress, to include cost and schedule estimates. Promotion of the use of Government-wide and other interagency contracts (sec. 875) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 881) that would modify regulations relating to government-wide and other interagency contracts. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Increasing competition at the task order level (sec. 876) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 882) that would amend section 3306(c) of title 41, United States Code, to provide exceptions for certain indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity multiple-award contracts and certain federal supply schedule contracts for services acquired on an hourly rate. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would continue to require the disclosure to offerors of the importance of all evaluation factors other than cost or price. Individual acquisition for commercial leasing services (sec. 877) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 883) that would modify individual acquisition for commercial leasing services and direct the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct audits related to acquisitions for commercial leasing services. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Procurement administrative lead time definition and plan (sec. 878) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 884) that would direct the Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy to develop, make available for public comment, and finalize a definition of the term “procurement administrative lead time” (PALT) and produce a plan for measuring and publicly reporting data on PALT for Federal Government contracts and task orders in amounts greater than the simplified acquisition threshold. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Briefing on funding of product support strategies (sec. 879) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 885) that would require a report on funding of product support strategies. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require an annotated briefing regarding the funding for product support strategies for major weapon systems, and a summary of improvements made to data collection and analysis capabilities of the Department, including in the Military Services, to improve the analysis and cost estimation of lifecycle costs, analysis and identification of cost drivers, reduce lifecycle cost variance, identify common and shared costs for multiple weapons systems, and isolate the lifecycle costs attributable to specific individual weapons systems. Use of lowest price technically acceptable source selection process (sec. 880) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 886) that would require a revision of the Federal Acquisition Regulation to clarify in which solicitations the lowest price technically acceptable source selection criteria may be used. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify the categories and threshold applicable in the provision. The conferees note that, in order to balance effective oversight with reasonable expenditure of resources, the Government Accountability Office is expected to develop a methodological approach that will provide sufficient insight into the extent to which lowest price technically acceptable source selection criteria are used by executive agencies, without requiring a review of each individual instance in which such criteria are used. Permanent Supply Chain Risk Management Authority (sec. 881) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 801) that would permanently extend the authority provided in section 806 of the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111–383) regarding the management of supply chain risk and would clarify the Secretary of Defense’s ability to make determinations under the authority to apply throughout the Department of Defense. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Review of market research (sec. 882) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 802) that would amend section 2431a of title 10, United States Code, to define the market research requirement of major defense acquisition program acquisition strategies. This provision is intended to improve the Department of Defense’s capacity to conduct market research by diversifying the sources and methods used. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to conduct a review of market research guidance and practices. The conferees note that a growing share of the Department’s spending is on information technology products and services and believes robust market research is critical to acquisition planning. The conferees believe that sufficient attention is not being given to market research and are concerned that the Department’s sources of data for market research are limited and lack diversity. The conferees therefore encourage the Department’s contracting officers to use commercially available detailed third-party market research, which should include any disclosures of a third-party’s interests and which should be considered by contracting officers in the context of all available data sources, to ensure that they have the best and most complete information available in developing and executing their acquisition strategies. Establishment of integrated review team on defense acquisition industry-government exchange (sec. 883) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 842) that would direct the Chairman of the Defense Business Board to convene an integrated review team with members of the Defense Innovation Board and Defense Science Board to undertake a study on the exchange of defense industry personnel on term assignments within the Department. The study shall review: (1) Legal, ethical, and financial disclosure requirements for industry-government exchanges; (2) Existing or previous industry-government exchange programs; and (3) How the military departments address legal, ethical, and financial requirements for reserve component servicemembers who also maintain civilian employment in the defense industry. The team shall also produce recommendations to reduce barriers to industry-government exchange while ensuring financial and ethical integrity to protect the best interests of the Department. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Exchange program for acquisition workforce employees (sec. 884) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 843) that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish an exchange program that would temporarily assign civilian personnel working in the defense acquisition workforce, as defined by chapter 87 of title 10, United States Code, to a rotational program that would broaden the skills and expertise of participants and improve communication within and integration of the acquisition community. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Process to limit foreign access to technology (sec. 885) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 820) that would authorize the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering to include in the terms of any contract provisions that would limit access by select persons or organizations to sensitive technology, and authorize the potential forfeit of intellectual property rights if these terms were violated. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would remove the authority to include these limitations in the terms of any contract and instead directs the Secretary of Defense to develop a process and procedures for limiting access to technology through contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other transactions, when such limitation is in the interest of national security. Procurement of telecommunications supplies for experimental purposes (sec. 886) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 894) that would ensure the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation, and other developmental testing organizations be given access to all data associated with certain modeling and simulation activities supporting the acquisition of military capabilities. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Access by developmental and operational testing activities to data regarding modeling and simulation activity (sec. 887) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 895) that would ensure the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation, and other developmental testing organizations be given access to all data associated with modeling and simulation activities supporting the acquisition of military capabilities. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that modeling and simulation tools and activities are critical to reducing risk in technology development initiatives and acquisition programs. The conferees note the use of modeling and simulation to reduce risk in operational or live fire test and evaluation is especially relevant when operational conditions are difficult or expensive to replicate in testing certain military capabilities, such as: performance of systems in space, intercept capability of ballistic missile defense systems, and a ship’s ability to withstand shocks. The conferees also note that given the increasing use of software-driven capabilities, modeling and simulation is also beneficial during developmental testing and evaluation, including modeling and simulating complex cyber threats to facilitate accurate assessments of security features. The conferees understand that Department of Defense policies require models to be verified, validated, and accredited in order to be deemed effective at reducing risk and cost, as well as to improve understanding and predictability of system performance. The conferees are concerned that despite these Department policies, programs and initiatives are using models in lieu of real world testing, even though they have not been verified, validated, and accredited. Accordingly, this provision would direct developmental and operational test organizations be given access to all data associated with verification, validation, and accreditation of modeling and simulation activities to ensure development, production, and fielding decisions that depend on outcomes from such activities are fully informed. The conferees also urge the Department to continue efforts to improve the quality and fidelity of computer models for use in test and evaluation activities. Instruction on pilot program regarding employment of persons with disabilities (sec. 888) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5801) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to update the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulatory Supplement to include an instruction on the pilot program regarding employment of persons with disabilities authorized under section 853 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Prohibition on certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment (sec. 889) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 880) that would provide that, not later than January 1, 2021, no government agency may procure or obtain, nor extend or renew a contract to procure or obtain, nor enter into a contract with an entity that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services with any covered entity. The covered equipment would encompass telecommunications and video surveillance products and services provided by Hauwei Technologies Company, ZTE Corporation, Hytera Communications Corporation, Hikvision Digital Technology Company, or Hahua Technology Company, or any company that the head of a relevant Federal agency reasonably believes is controlled by the government of the Peoples Republic of China. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 6702) that would prohibit by the heads of Federal agencies procurement of telecommunications equipment or services from Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation, any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities, or any entity controlled by the government of the People’s Republic of China. The provision would also prohibit entry into a contract with any entity that uses equipment, as a critical component of any system, from Huawei Technologies Company, the ZTE Corporation, any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities, or any entity controlled by the government of the People’s Republic of China. The provision would prohibit the modification of any penalty implemented by the United States Government with respect to a Chinese telecommunications company upon a determination that the company has violated an export control or sanctions law until the President certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that the company is compliant and cooperative with US laws and related investigations. The provision would also reinstate penalties imposed on ZTE on April 15, 2018 by the Acting Assistant Secretary of the Commerce for Export Enforcement and would limit the future modification of such penalties. The House recedes with an amendment that would not prohibit modification of penalties nor re-impose penalties on the ZTE Corporation, clarify the applicable timelines and waivers, and require the heads of executive agencies administering loan, grant, or subsidy programs to prioritize available funding and technical support to assist affected businesses, institutions and organizations as is reasonably necessary for those affected entities to transition from covered communications equipment and services, to procure replacement equipment and services, and to ensure that communications services to users and customers is sustained. The conferees stress the importance of assisting rural communications service providers, anchor institutions, and public safety organizations in replacing covered equipment and associated support services contracts as soon as practicable. Pilot program to accelerate contracting and pricing processes (sec. 890) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 833) that would establish a pilot program for the Secretary of Defense to reform and accelerate the contracting and pricing processes associated with major weapons systems programs through basing price reasonableness determinations on actual cost and pricing data for purchases of the same or similar products for the Department of Defense and reducing the cost and pricing data to be submitted in accordance with section 2306a of title 10, United States Code. This authority would expire on January 2, 2021. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the pilot to ten contracts not classified as major defense acquisition programs and require a report to the congressional defense committee on the results of the pilot no later than January 30, 2021. LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED Comptroller General of the United States report on progress payment financing of Department of Defense contracts The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 819) that would require the Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report, no later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, to the congressional defense committees on the results of an analysis of the effects of current financing levels of defense contracts on defense contractors and Defense budgets. The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United States to submit to the congressional defense committees, no later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, a report on the results of an analysis of the effects of current financing levels of Department of Defense contracts on contractors of the Department and the budgets of the Department to include an analysis and assessment of the impact to government and business on the relationship between financing amounts and contractor profit and the willingness of contractors to pursue contracts with the Department. The assessment should take into consideration past changes to progress payment rates and conditions as well as progress payment rates and limitations on progressing for undefinitized contract actions. Contract goal for the AbilityOne program The House bill contained a provision (sec. 821) that would amend section 2323a of title 10, United States Code, to create a contract goal for the AbilityOne program of 1.5 percent. This section would also require the Secretary of Defense to submit an annual report to the U.S. AbilityOne Commission on progress made toward achieving said contract goal. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that the AbilityOne program must have policies and procedures in place to ensure that funding is used in a way that maximizes the benefits to the people it is intended to serve and that taxpayer funds are not wasted. Recognizing this, in 2015 the Congress directed the establishment of an AbilityOne Inspector General, and in 2016 Congress directed the establishment of a Panel on Department of Defense, and AbilityOne Contracting, Oversight, Accountability, and Integrity. The conferees note that both the Inspector General and the Panel are generating findings and recommendations for needed reforms and expect the AbilityOne Commission to take appropriate steps in the future to increase transparency and effectiveness of the program. Sense of Congress on awarding of contracts to responsible companies that primarily employ American workers and do not actively transfer American jobs to potential adversaries The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 822) that would express the sense of Congress that the Department of Defense should award contracts to responsible companies that primarily employ United States workers or are partners in the national technology and industrial base and do not actively transfer United States jobs to potential adversaries. The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note that the Department of Defense should award contracts to responsible companies that primarily employ United States workers or are partners in the national technology and industrial base and do not actively transfer United States jobs to potential adversaries. Preference for offerors employing veterans The House bill contained a provision (sec. 823) that would amend chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code, by adding a new section that would authorize the head of an agency, in awarding a contract for the procurement of goods and services for the Department of Defense, to establish a preference for offerors that employ veterans on a full-time basis, with criteria for use of such preference determined by the Secretary of Defense. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Competition requirements for purchases from Federal Prison Industries The House bill contained a provision (sec. 826) that would amend section 2410n of title 10, United States Code. This section would create a requirement for conducting market research before purchasing a product listed in the Federal Prison Industries (FPI) catalog. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Revision of timeline for use of the rapid fielding pathway for acquisition programs The House bill contained a provision (sec. 829) that would amend section 804(b)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to change part of the objective of an acquisition program under the rapid fielding pathway from completing fielding within 5 years, to completing low-rate initial production within 5 years. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Definition of subcontract The House bill contained a provision (sec. 832) that would create a precise definition for "subcontract" in title 41, United States Code, and incorporate this revised definition in title 10, United States Code. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Permanent authority for demonstration projects relating to acquisition personnel management policies and procedures The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 841) 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 House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Security of Department of Defense telecommunication services The House bill contained a provision (sec. 845) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to give preference in awarding contracts for telecommunication services or installation of telecommunication infrastructure on military installations located in the United States or its territories to Americanowned and –operated companies. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Sense of Congress on unmanned ground vehicle technology The House bill contained a provision (sec. 846) that would provide a sense of Congress on unmanned ground vehicle technology. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that the design, manufacturing, and repair of the technology in unmanned ground vehicles is critical to national security. Amendments to the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 857) that would amend the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 (15 U.S.C. 682(b)) by increasing the Individual Leverage Limit from $150.0 million to $175.0 million and by increasing the total amount of capital and surplus that a financial institution and Federal savings association can invest in a small business investment company from 5 percent to 15 percent. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Exemption of certain contracts from the periodic inflation adjustments to the acquisition-related dollar threshold The House bill contained a provision (sec. 860) that would amend subparagraph (B) of section 1908(b)(2) of title 41, United States Code, to exempt certain contracts from the periodic inflation adjustments to the acquisition-related dollar threshold. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. SCORE The amend the The The House bill contained a provision (sec. 861) that would Small Business Act to reauthorize the SCORE program. Senate amendment contained no similar provision. House recedes. United States Virgin Islands Small Business Contracting Assistance The House bill contained a provision (sec. 865) that would modify the Small Business Act with regard to the United States Virgin Islands. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Veteran entrepreneurship training The House bill contained a provision (sec. 867) that would amend section 32 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 657b) to require the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to carry out a program to provide entrepreneurship training to certain servicemembers, veterans, and their spouses or dependents. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Improvement of small business development centers program The House bill contained a provision (sec. 868) that would modify the small business development centers program. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Additional requirements for negotiations for noncommercial computer software The House bill contained a provision (sec. 871) that would amend section 2322a of title 10, United States Code, and codify existing Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations on noncommercial software rights as well as mandate, to the maximum extent practicable, that specially negotiated licenses be used for weapon systems noncommercial software. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Removal of requirement for risk and sensitivity analysis of baseline estimates in Selected Acquisition Reports The House bill contained a provision (sec. 872) that would amend section 2432(c)(1)(B) of title 10, United States Code, by removing the requirement for risk and sensitivity analysis to be included with baseline estimates in selected acquisition reports. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that quantitative and qualitative risk and sensitivity analyses help decision-makers to identify cost drivers and understand the effects of changing variables on cost estimates. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) required that a program’s baseline cost estimate, along with the associated risk curve and sensitivity of that estimate, be provided in the quarterly selected acquisition reports. In addition, it required that the reports include the current point estimate bounded by the lowend and high-end estimates and the associated sensitivity of those estimates, and identification of the primary risk parameters associated with the estimate. The conferees note that these requirements are intended to promote use of relatively commonplace data and statistical analysis techniques that are well understood by most practitioners. However, the conferees understand that this language has been interpreted by Department of Defense officials as requiring analysis of the sensitivity of the information in a security context for selected acquisition reports, resulting in unwarranted barriers to dissemination. The conferees direct the Department of Defense to comply with all legal requirements relating to contents of selected acquisition reports, noting the clarification of intent above. Further, the conferees direct the Department to avoid labeling selected acquisition reports as "For Official Use Only" unless the specific justification for such restrictive markings is provided to the Congress for each individual report. Transfer or possession of defense items for national defense purposes The House bill contained a provision (sec. 874) that would amend sections 922 and 925 of title 18, United States Code, to allow joint production, integration, and calibration of military-grade hardware by licensed contractors, transfers of defense items to government customers, and export of authorized weapons to foreign governments. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Expedited hiring authority for shortage category positions in the acquisition workforce The House bill contained a provision (sec. 875) that would expand and extend direct-hire authority for acquisition professionals. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Sense of Congress regarding steel produced in the United States The House bill contained a provision (sec. 887) that would provide a sense of Congress regarding steel produced in the United States. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that a strong domestic iron ore and steel industry is vital to the national security of the United States. Permanent SBIR and STTR authority for the Department of Defense The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 893) that would amend section 638 of title 15, United States Code, to provide a permanent authority for the Small Business Innovation Research program (SBIR) and the Small Business Technology Transfer program (STTR) in the Department of Defense. The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. TITLE IX—DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT SUBTITLE A—OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE AND RELATED MATTERS Report on allocation of former responsibilities of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (sec. 901) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 904) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to report on decisions taken as part of the reorganization of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to allocate the responsibilities that are referenced in United States Code. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Modification of responsibilities of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy (sec. 902) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 903) that would modify the responsibilities of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy to include greater oversight of defense strategy and planning guidance in alignment with the National Defense Strategy (NDS). These modifications would encompass the preparation and development of policy guidance for campaign and contingency plans by the combatant commands, as well as the oversight and integration of strategic documents such as the National Security Strategy (NSS) and the Defense Planning Guidance (DPG). The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would further refine the responsibilities of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy including a clarification of its role in providing joint force requirements guidance through the Defense Planning Guidance. Furthermore, the Under Secretary, in coordination with the Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, would develop planning scenarios for the future joint environments to use in assessments and the development of specific objectives for joint force capabilities (both capacity and readiness). The conferees recognize the importance of the Under Secretary of Defense in developing strategy and providing associated policy guidance for force development, planning, and posture. However, deteriorating policy functions in areas such as joint force assessments have led to shortcomings in resource allocation and prioritization efforts. In turn, this can exacerbate capability gaps and lead to the erosion of U.S. military superiority. In light of these trends, the conferees urge the Department to clearly define the Under Secretary of Defense primary functions as well as integrate its critical responsibilities with the priorities outlined in the 2018 National Defense Strategy. Clarification of responsibilities and duties of the Chief Information Officer of the Department of Defense (sec. 903) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 906) that would clarify the responsibilities and duties of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) of the Department of Defense by specifically delineating its authorities from those assigned to the Chief Management Officer (CMO) in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91). Section 910 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) designated the CMO as the CIO of the Department for the purposes of Defense business systems (10 U.S.C. 2222). The provision assigned the CMO the responsibility of administering the duties and responsibilities specified in sections 11315 and 11319 of title 40, section 3506(a)(2) of title 44, and section 2223(a) of title 10 for business systems and management. The provision also assigned the CMO with any responsibilities, duties, and powers relating to business systems or management that are exercisable by a chief information officer for the Department, other than those responsibilities, duties, and powers of a chief information officer that are vested in the Chief Information Officer of the Department of Defense by section 142 of title 10, United States Code. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Technical corrections to Department of Defense Test Resource Management Center authority (sec. 904) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 909) that would align the reporting relationship of the Test Resource Management Center to the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, as a conforming change reflecting the disestablishment of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Specification of certain duties of the Defense Technical Information Center (sec. 905) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 907) that would expand the duties of the Defense Technical Information Center to include execution of the Global Research Watch program and the development and maintenance of datasets and data repositories on research and engineering activities. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. SUBTITLE B—ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE OFFICES AND ELEMENTS Comprehensive review of operational and administrative chainsof-command and functions of the Department of the Navy (sec. 911) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 905) that would amend section 5013 of title 10, United States Code, to require the Secretary of the Navy to designate a single commander within the Department of the Navy responsible for ensuring Navy forces are available for tasking and deployment, including those Navy forces that may be operating from a forward deployed location. This provision would also require the Secretary to designate a single commander for all Navy shipyards, including any located overseas. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1043) that would require the Secretary of the Navy to conduct a comprehensive review of the operational and administrative chains-of-command and functions in the Department of the Navy. The House recedes. The conferees direct the Secretary of the Navy to review the chains-of-command for Navy shipyards and determine if a single commander should be responsible for all such shipyards. Modification of certain responsibilities of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff relating to joint force concept development (sec. 912) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 921) that would clarify the strategic planning role of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff by including both a short-term and longterm focus on force concept development to meet national security shortfalls. This provision would seek to address joint force capability gaps in addition to present procurement requirements. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate the specific direction regarding exercising and, if appropriate, fielding joint concept assessments in support of the joint force. The conferees note that not all capability gaps can, or should, be addressed by procurement or addition of end-strength. Expanding joint force concept development efforts should enable the Department of Defense to better meet the diverse set of challenges facing the military in a more efficient manner. Clarification of certain risk assessment requirements of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in connection with the National Military Strategy (sec. 913) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 5901) that would amend section 153(b) of title 10, United States Code, to include new language concerning military strategic risks to the United States interests and military risks in executing the National Military Strategy. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict review of United States Special Operations Command (sec. 914) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 922) that would require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict, in coordination with the Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), to conduct a comprehensive review of SOCOM for the purpose of ensuring that the institutional and operational capabilities of special operations forces are appropriate to counter future threats across the spectrum of conflict. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Expansion of principal duties of Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition (sec. 915) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 924) that would expand the principal duties of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition to include sustainment. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Qualifications for appointment as Deputy Chief Management Officer of a military department (sec. 916) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 923) that would create qualification criteria for military department Deputy Chief Management Officers to include either significant experience in business operations and management in the public sector or significant experience managing an enterprise in the private sector. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that these desired qualifications are intended to be a guide for the military departments to recruit the best possible private and public sector managerial talent with requisite expertise. Deadline for completion of full implementation of requirements in connection with organization of the Department of Defense for management of special operations forces and special operations (sec. 917) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 926) that would require full implementation of the reforms contained in section 922 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114–328) not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that section 922 of Public Law 114-328 included a number of reforms designed to empower the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict (ASD SOLIC) to act as the “service secretary-like” civilian responsible for exercising “authority, direction and control of all special operations-peculiar administrative matters relating to the organization, training, and equipping of special operations forces (SOF).” However, the conferees are concerned that, despite passage of Public Law 114-328 more than 20 months ago, the implementation of the reforms contained in section 922 remain incomplete. The conferees further note that section 922 established a new administrative chain of command to facilitate the exercise of these responsibilities that runs from the Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) through the ASD SOLIC to the Secretary of Defense, thereby mirroring the relationship between the Secretary of Defense and the service secretaries. This reform was, in part, intended to address the fact that the ASD SOLIC’s organizational location within the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy (USD(P)) has resulted in the ASD SOLIC dedicating the preponderance of their time and resources to policy and operational issues, at the expense of their “service secretary-like” responsibilities. The conferees understand the Department continues to work towards full implementation of this administrative chain of command, but reiterate their intent that the ASD SOLIC is empowered to act independent of the USD(P) in fulfillment of their “service secretary-like” responsibilities related to the organization, training, and equipping of special operations forces. This administrative chain of command is not intended to impact the relationship between the ASD SOLIC and USD(P) on policy matters relating to the employment of special operations forces and related authorities. The conferees also recognize that current civilian manpower within the ASD SOLIC is not sufficient to fulfill the “service secretary-like” responsibilities for the advocacy and oversight of SOF mandated by Congress. The conferees note that, elsewhere in this Act, there is a provision requiring that, of the funds authorized in Operation & Maintenance, Defense-wide for U.S. Special Operations Command civilian personnel, not less than $4 million shall be used to fund additional civilian personnel in or directly supporting the ASD SOLIC Secretariat for Special Operations. This provision would also exempt these additional personnel from the overall personnel caps on the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The conferees believe this is an appropriate model for adequately staffing the ASD SOLIC Secretariat for Special Operations. The conferees encourage the Department to request adequate funding in future years and to propose legislative or other recommendations that would facilitate adequate staffing of the ASD SOLIC Secretariat for Special Operations. Cross-functional teams in the Department of Defense (sec. 918) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 925) that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish three crossfunctional teams (CFTs) as directed in section 911 of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) and would require the Deputy Secretary of Defense to establish or designate an office as the Office of Primary Responsibility for implementing section 911. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that limits the statutory establishment of CFTs to one: the CFT for electronic warfare, which the Department itself has not yet created. In addition to the team established within this provision, the conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to designate the ongoing teams on personnel security and close combat lethality as CFTs under section 911 of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328). The conferees stress that this designation should only be made in the event it does not require any changes in either of the ongoing efforts’ organization, management, authorities, mission, or activities. In that regard, the conferees note that these teams already have the characteristics and meet the requirements of CFTs established in law by section 911. The conferees remain committed to monitoring the implementation of section 911 of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328). Limitation on transfer of the Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Defense Division of the Navy (sec. 919) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 922) that would require the Secretary of the Navy to provide a report to the congressional defense committees on the timeline, costs, risks, and benefits of transferring the Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Defense Division in Dahlgren, Virginia, to another location. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. The conferees note the Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Defense Division of the Navy, currently based at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Virginia, consists of a highly effective team of scientists performing critical work for the United States. The Secretary of the Navy has notified Congress of the intent to transfer the division to another location, however, the Secretary has not provided Congress with a detailed cost benefit analysis or any other information that adequately justifies the proposed transfer of the division. SUBTITLE C—COMPREHENSIVE PENTAGON BUREAUCRACY REFORM AND REDUCTION Authorities and responsibilities of the Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense (sec. 921) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 911) that would amend the authorities of the Chief Management Officer to include budget authority and would authorize the Chief Management Officer to reduce or eliminate duplicative cross-enterprise functions across all Defense Agencies and Field Activities. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend the Chief Management Officer’s budget authority over all enterprise business operations, adjust the execution requirements to ensure greatest efficiency for the Department of Defense, and synchronize cost savings reporting associated with increasing effectiveness and efficiency of certain activities. Analysis of Department of Defense business management and operations datasets to promote savings and efficiencies (sec. 922) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 941) that would direct the Chief Management Officer to develop a policy on the analysis of Department of Defense datasets on business management and operations and to pilot three to five of these previously non-public datasets under that policy. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with a technical amendment. The conferees urge the Department to use the exposure of business management and operations datasets as a tool for the accomplishment of enterprise business reform. Periodic review of the Defense Agencies and Department of Defense Field Activities by the Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense (sec. 923) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 913) that would require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Chief Management Officer (CMO), to submit a plan to transfer several Defense Information Systems Agency functions to other Department elements, to eliminate the Washington Headquarters Service, and to review the efficiency and effectiveness of each Defense Agency and Department of Defense Field Activity. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the portions of the provision related to the Defense Information Systems Agency and the Washington Headquarters Service, and amend the review of efficiency and effectiveness. Actions to increase the efficiency and transparency of the Defense Logistics Agency (sec. 924) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 914) that would require that the Director of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Chief Management Officer jointly implement a comprehensive system that enables customers to have increased insight into their DLA orders, and to jointly reduce charged rates by at least 10 percent, eliminate duplication of services, and establish specific goals and metrics to ensure the agency is fulfilling its mission. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend the provision to add flexibility around the achievement of the savings target. Review of functions of Defense Contract Audit Agency and Defense Contract Management Agency (sec. 925) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 915) that would direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment and the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to conduct a joint review of the Defense Contract Audit Agency and Defense Contract Management Agency to validate their missions and functions and determine if any of their functions could be more appropriately performed by the other Agency, any other organization within the Department of Defense, or commercial providers. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend elements of the reporting requirement. Review and improvement of the operations of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (sec. 926) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 916) that would require that, not later than January 1, 2021, the Chief Management Officer and the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) shall jointly carry out activities to make the Defense Finance and Accounting Services more efficient and effective. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would replace the streamlining activities with a report and amend the reporting requirement. Assessment of chief information officer functions in connection with transition to enterprise-wide management of information technology and computing (sec. 927) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 917) that would require that, starting in calendar year 2021, there may not be more than five "Chief Information Officer" in the Department of Defense at the level of Senior Executive Service positions.

The conferees note the operational advantages provided by electronic warfare and cyber capabilities and expects the Department to dedicate additional resources to the problem set. The conferees remain concerned that electronic and cyber warfare are two warfighting areas where our peer adversaries, such as China and Russia, are establishing significant asymmetric advantages and the conferees urge swift action by the Department’s leadership to regain United States superiority in these warfighting areas. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to provide the congressional defense committees a briefing not later than February 25, 2019, on: (1) An update on the progress of the Department in implementing the pilot program authorized by section 234 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 10 U.S.C. 113 note); (2) The progress of the Department in establishing a network to connect an electromagnetic battle management system to multiple sensor and intelligence data feeds to implement electronic warfare battle management for networked electronic warfare and dynamic reprogramming with automated near real-time capabilities, and (3) The number of personnel assigned to joint electromagnetic spectrum operations mission activities.

The details of the report would be based on the Department of Defense’s munitions requirements process. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Improvement of annual report on civilian casualties in connection with United States military operations (sec. 1062) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1051) that would amend section 1057(b)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) to include an annual reporting requirement on civilian casualties in connection with U.S. military operations. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1046) that would amend section 1057 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115–91) to clarify annual reporting requirements on civilian casualties in connection with United States military operations. The House recedes. Report on capabilities and capacities of Armored Brigade Combat Teams (sec. 1063) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1045) that would require the Secretary of the Army to submit a report on the capabilities and capacities of Armored Brigade Combat Teams. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Activities and reporting related to Department of Defense's Cloud Initiative (sec. 1064) The House bill contained a provision that would prohibit certain funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act from being obligated or expended for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure until the Secretary of Defense provides a report to the congressional defense committees on the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure. The Senate amendment contained a provision that would direct the Cloud Executive Steering Group to execute certain activities enabling the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure such as securing networks and conducting workload migration analysis. The Senate amendment also contained a limitation on new system and application approvals unless an assessment that such system is, can, or would be cloud-hosted. Additionally, the Senate amendment contained a provision providing for transparency and competition. The Senate recedes with an amendment that lowers the prohibition on certain funds, provides for a waiver on the new system and application approval, and directs the Chief Information Officer of the Department of Defense (DOD), acting through the Cloud Executive Steering Group, to conduct certain activities enabling DOD’s cloud initiatives. The conferees have long championed modernization of information technology throughout DOD agencies, services, and other entities to facilitate efficiencies, cost-savings, enhance performance, and to provide our warfighters with cutting-edge capabilities on and off the battlefield. The conferees emphasize the importance of modernizing networks by adopting advancing commercial capabilities to achieve DOD’s cloud transition and enterprise efficiency goals. Further, the conferees believe that workload analysis is critical to understanding migration feasibility and costs. Especially where barriers stem from technical, intellectual property, and data rights issues that are poorly understood, such barriers may fundamentally limit the potential utility of commercial cloud services to the Department. The conferees encourage the Department to continue to ensure that cloud technologies are technically suitable, appropriately tested for security and reliability, and integrated with other DOD information technology efforts so as to optimize effective and efficient procurement of such technologies and services and their performance in support of DOD missions. Finally, the conferees note that although transparency and information sharing by the Department on the Cloud Initiative has slightly improved, it continues to be insufficient for conducting congressional oversight. The conferees expect the Department to improve communication with Congress on this issue and will consider additional legislation if an improvement is not seen. Limitation on use of funds for United States Special Operations Command Global Messaging and Counter-Messaging platform (sec. 1065) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1054) that would limit the availability of funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act, or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2019, until the Secretary of Defense provides a report to the congressional defense committees on the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) Global Messaging and CounterMessaging (GMCM) platform. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1033) that would prohibit the use of any funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act for the SOCOM GMCM platform until the Secretary of Defense submits to the congressional defense committees a report containing detailed information relating to the platform and SOCOM’s military information support enterprise. The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit the use of any funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act for SOCOM’s GMCM platform until the Secretary of Defense submits to the congressional defense committees a report containing detailed information relating to the platform. The conferees understand that the Secretary of Defense identified SOCOM as the Department of Defense's (DOD) proponent for military information support operations (MISO) and directed the establishment of a centralized GMCM platform at SOCOM. Given SOCOM's transregional approach to matters within its purview, the conferees believe the command is positioned to play an important role in supporting the GMCM activities of the other combatant commands by enabling facilities and contracting efficiencies, the capture and adoption of best practices, and messaging consistency across geographic boundaries. However, the budget request lacks sufficient detail on the plan for establishment of the GMCM capability, including the identification of budget, infrastructure and equipment requirements for the platform to reach full operational capability as well as an identification of long-term sustainment costs. Additionally, the conferees require greater understanding of how GMCM planning and activities will be de-conflicted and, where possible, integrated with the planning and activities of the combatant commands as well as other relevant departments and agencies of the United States Government, including the Department of State's Global Engagement Center. The amendment would also require the Secretary of Defense not later than 9 months after the date of the enactment of this Act to submit to the congressional defense committees a report containing a review and assessment of the doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities applicable to military information support personnel and recommend changes for enhancing the ability of military information support personnel to operate effectively in the current and future information environment.

The provision would require a briefing from the Secretary and the FAA Administrator not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, to the Committees on Armed Services, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Veterans’ Affairs of the House of Representatives and the Committees on Armed Services, Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and Veterans’ Affairs of the Senate on whether legislative action is required to prevent low flying unmanned aircraft from disrupting funerals at Arlington National Cemetery. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense and the FAA Administrator to submit a letter report to the same committees not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.

The provision would require that the report be submitted to the congressional defense committees not later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act and every 180 days thereafter until the date that is 3 years after such date of enactment. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would add the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House as recipients of the report.

The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the questions of the report requirement to re-evaluate the roles and missions of the Joint Force. Furthermore, the amendment would require the report be submitted by March 31, 2019. The conferees note that a new National Defense Strategy was released in 2018 prioritizing the development of a more lethal joint force that is ready to deter and, if necessary, defeat aggression by great power competitors with advanced military capabilities. The conferees realize that the Department has begun implementing the National Defense Strategy, however, the strategy, and its implications for the size, structure, shape, mission, and employment of the joint force, were not completed in time to fully inform the President’s fiscal year 2019 budget request. As the Department continues to implement changes from the National Defense Strategy, the conferees recommend the Department conduct further analytical work in order to facilitate the implementation of the strategy.

Relinquishment of legislative jurisdiction of criminal offenses on military installations The Senate amendment included a provision (sec. 1035) that would, in the case of any military installation or portion of a military installation of which exclusive legislative jurisdiction of criminal offenses committed by juveniles is retained by the United States as of the date of the enactment of this Act, would require the relevant service secretary to seek to relinquish to the State, Commonwealth, territory, or possession concerned legislative jurisdiction of such offenses such that the United States and the State, Commonwealth, territory, or possession would have concurrent legislative jurisdiction of such offenses. The House bill included no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees are concerned about the lack of State or local criminal jurisdiction over offenses committed on those portions of military installations with exclusive Federal jurisdiction by individuals not subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Therefore, the conferees direct service secretaries to seek to relinquish jurisdiction pursuant to section 2683 of title 10, United States Code, such that the United States and the State, Commonwealth, territory, or possession would have concurrent jurisdiction over offenses committed on these military installations. Not later than 15 months after the date of enactment of this act, each service secretary shall submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on the relinquishment of jurisdiction. The report shall include the following pertaining to military installations under the jurisdiction of the Secretary: (1) A list of the installations or portions of installations where jurisdiction was relinquished pursuant to this directive; (2) A list of the installations or portions of installations where the Secretary offered to relinquish jurisdiction, but the State, Commonwealth, territory, or possession declined to accept the relinquishment of jurisdiction; (3) A list of the installations or portions of installations where the Secretary elected not to seek relinquishment of jurisdiction and the reason for not seeking such relinquishment; and (4) A complete list of the installations or portions of installations of which the United States continues to exercise exclusive jurisdiction over criminal offenses as of the date of the report. For juvenile offenses committed on portions of military installations where concurrent jurisdiction exists, the conferees strongly urge that jurisdiction over individual cases involving juveniles be relinquished only where the State, Commonwealth, territory, or possession concerned has procedures under which cases involving juvenile offenders can be adjudicated in a juvenile proceeding unless the offense is of sufficient gravity that adjudication as an adult is appropriate. Additionally, the conferees encourage the military command and the entity exercising jurisdiction over juveniles to seek to avoid unnecessary separation of juveniles from parents or legal guardians. Automatic sunset for future statutory reporting requirements The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1048) that would establish an automatic sunset of three years for future statutory reporting requirements of indefinite duration. The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note that excess reporting requirements impose costs on the Department of Defense that compound over time.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would increase the limitation on small-scale construction related to security cooperation to $1.5 million and would require that the provision of small-scale construction above $750,000 under specified authorities include a notification containing the location, project title, cost, Department of Defense Form 1391, and a masterplan of planned infrastructure investments at the location. Technical corrections relating to defense security cooperation statutory reorganization (sec. 1204) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1275) that would make technical corrections relating to defense security cooperation statutory reorganization. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1206) that would make technical corrections to title 10, United States Code, and other legislation referencing sections that were redesignated under section 1241 of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2017(Public Law 114–328). The Senate recedes. Review and report on processes and procedures used to carry out section 362 of title 10, United States Code (sec. 1205) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1208) that would require the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to conduct a review of the processes and procedures used to carry out section 362 of title 10, United States Code, and submit a report to the appropriate congressional committees on such review. This section would also make conforming amendments to section 362 and to section 1206 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. "Buck" McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make modifications to the review required by this section and make conforming changes to section 1206 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. "Buck" McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). Report on the use of security cooperation authorities (sec. 1206) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1201) that would express the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense should use appropriate security cooperation authorities to counter the malign influence campaigns that are directed at allies and partners and that pose a significant threat to the United States. This section would also require the Secretary of Defense to include a report on funding for this purpose with the consolidated budget materials for security cooperation required by section 381 of title 10, United States Code, in fiscal year 2020 through fiscal year 2025. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the sense of the Congress that the Secretary of Defense should utilize appropriate security cooperation authorities to counter malign influence campaigns by strategic competitors and other state actors that are directed at allied and partner countries and that pose a significant threat to the national security of the United States. The amendment would also require the Secretary of Defense to include with the consolidated budget materials submitted to Congress as required by section 381 of title 10, United States Code, for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 a report on the use of security cooperation funding to counter the malign influence by strategic competitors and other state actors directed at allied and partner countries and that pose a significant threat to the national security of the United States. Participation in and support of the Inter-American Defense College (sec. 1207) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1205) that would permit the Secretary of Defense to authorize members of the Armed Forces and civilian personnel of the Department of Defense (DOD) to participate in the operation of and the provision of support to the Inter-American Defense College (IADC) and provide logistic support, supplies, and services to the College as the Secretary considers necessary. The provision would also require the Secretary, in concurrence with the Secretary of State, to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Inter-American Defense Board regarding the operation and provision of host nation support to the IADC. Additionally, the provision would permit the use of funds appropriated for operation and maintenance to pay the costs for DOD personnel in the operation and provision of host nation support to the IADC. It would also include a waiver for reimbursement for developing countries for the costs of funding and other host nation support to the IADC if the Secretary determines that it is in the national security interests of the United States. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School (sec. 1208) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1207) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to operate and maintain the Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. Expansion of Regional Defense Combating Terrorism Fellowship Program to include irregular warfare (sec. 1209) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1203) that would amend section 354 of title 10, United States Code and expand the Regional Defense Combating Terrorism Fellowship Program to include irregular warfare. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. Modification to Department of Defense State Partnership Program (sec. 1210) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1202) that would make a technical modification to section 341(b)(2) of title 10, United States Code to clarify the conditions under which vetting pursuant to section 362, title 10, United States Code, is required for the conduct of Department of Defense State Partnership Program activities. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Assessment, monitoring, and evaluation of security cooperation (sec. 1211) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 346) that would designate $12.0 million of funds available for the Defense Security Cooperation Agency toward assessment, monitoring, and evaluation (AM&E) of security cooperation activities in accordance with section 383 of title 10, United States Code. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that states that of the amounts for Operations and Maintenance, Defense-wide made available to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency for fiscal year 2019, it is the goal that not less than $12.0 million, but in no event less than $6.0 million, shall be allocated for the AM&E of security cooperation activities in accordance with section 383 of title 10, United States Code. The conferees believe that the amount specifically identified in the fiscal year 2019 budget request for AM&E of security cooperation programs is wholly insufficient to meet congressional intent. The significant growth of security cooperation capacity building programs and associated funding in recent years has far outpaced the Department’s emphasis on and resourcing of AM&E of those programs. The conferees reiterate their expectation that the Department’s AM&E program should be rigorous and comprehensive, and provide for the continuous review of security cooperation programs from inception to completion that measure outcomes against defined objectives. Additionally, an effective AM&E program will provide important lessons learned that will be critical to improving the effectiveness and efficiency of subsequent security cooperation efforts. The conferees expect the Department to allocate sufficient resourcing to accomplish these objectives in fiscal year 2019 and in future budget requests. Further, the amendment would limit the availability of funds for activities under section 333 of title 10, United States Code, until the Secretary of Defense submits a written plan including a description of the activities planned for fiscal year 2019 for the evaluation of security cooperation programs across the security cooperation enterprise, including through chapter 16 of title 10, United States Code, the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund, the Counter-ISIL Fund, the cooperative threat reduction program, and other security cooperation authorities as appropriate; and a description of the activities planned for fiscal year 2019 for the training, support, and organization of the Department to effectively carry out responsibilities under section 383 of title 10, United States Code. Legal and policy review of advise, assist, and accompany missions (sec. 1212) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1205) that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and the General Counsel of the Department of Defense, in coordination with the appropriate combatant commands, not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, to submit to the congressional defense committees a report on a review of the legal and policy frameworks associated with advise, assist, and accompany missions by United States military personnel. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would require not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, in coordination with the General Counsel of the Department of Defense and the commanders of the appropriate combatant commands, to conduct a review of the legal and policy frameworks associated with advise, assist, and accompany missions by United States military personnel and submit to the Secretary of Defense a report on the results of such review. The amendment would also require that not later than 30 days after the date on which the Secretary receives the required report, the Secretary shall submit to the congressional defense committees the report together with any comments by the Secretary that amplify or clarify the report. Extension and modification of authority to support border security operations of certain foreign countries (sec. 1213) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1204) that would amend section 1226 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), as amended, by authorizing the Secretary of Defense to provide support on a reimbursable basis to the Government of Oman and Government of Pakistan for the purposes of supporting and enhancing efforts of the armed forces of Oman and Pakistan to increase and sustain security along the borders of Yemen and Afghanistan, respectively. The provision would also require quarterly reports on the use of this authority and would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 15 days prior to the provision of support under this authority to any country that has not previously received with information and a certification regarding the use of the authority. Finally, the provision would extend this authority through December 31, 2021. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Framework for obtaining concurrence for participation in activities of regional centers for security studies (sec. 1214) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1202) that would amend section 342 of title 10, United States Code, to clarify that travel, transportation, and subsistence expenses are included among the costs of activities of the Regional Centers eligible for waiver of reimbursement. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to establish and submit to appropriate congressional committees a Memorandum of Agreement or similar arrangement setting forth a framework for the procedures required between the Department of Defense and the Department of State to obtain the concurrence of the Secretary of State, as required by law or policy, to allow non-defense and non-governmental personnel of friendly foreign countries to participate in activities of the Department of Defense Regional Centers for Security Studies. The conferees expect the framework to include elements that streamline procedures for concurrence, delegate approval to the lowest practicable level, require measures to issue concurrence decisions within 14 days unless there are extenuating circumstances, and provide for procedures for rapid consideration of alternate attendees. 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. 1221) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1211) that would extend for two years the authority to transfer defense articles being drawn down in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the authority to provide defense services regarding such transfers to the military and security forces of Afghanistan. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1213) that would extend the authority to transfer defense articles for one year. The Senate recedes. Extension and modification of reporting requirements for special immigrant visas for Afghan allies program (sec. 1222) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1214) that would renew a reporting requirement under the Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009 to assess the health of the Special Afghan Immigrant Visa (SIV) application process and identify any delays in orderly visa processing. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees are concerned by reports that the SIV application process continues to suffer from inadequate interagency coordination which has resulted in undue delay, needless stress on applicants, and a sizable drop in SIV admissions this year. The conferees note the critical work performed by Afghan partners in support of United States and coalition efforts and the importance of sustaining the SIV program. In all operations the military depends on robust and trustworthy relationships with local partners. If the United States wishes to achieve success in current and future operations overseas, it must protect those who help enable that success. Local partners in other potential conflict zones are watching how the United States treats its networks in Afghanistan; the policies and practices used there will influence confidence and loyalties elsewhere when supporters are needed. As the United States continues to protect its interests around the world, it will need the assistance of willing partners. Ensuring the SIV program is effectively managed and resourced is one way to communicate America’s steadfast commitment to our partners. Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (sec. 1223) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1211) that would extend the authority to continue certain established provisions applicable to the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund (ASFF), including the use of funds, transfer authority, and acceptance of contributions to provide assistance to the security forces of the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Interior of Afghanistan, including the provision of equipment, supplies, services, training, and funds to develop the capacity of Afghanistan’s security ministries. The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 1521). The House recedes with an amendment that requires the Secretary of Defense to provide an assessment of the Government of Afghanistan’s ability to manage, employ, and sustain equipment divested under the ASFF. The conferees note the emphasis in this provision placed on the resources allocated to integrate women into the security forces of Afghanistan. The conferees, however, do not encourage the Department of Defense to allocate funding for women and girls programming simply for the sake of meeting a goal. The conferees are aware that previous funding has not always been applied in the most effective and judicious manner and encourage the Department to ensure going forward that any funds spent on such efforts are valid and verifiable. Additionally, the conferees are disappointed by recent public decisions regarding a lack of transparency on basic information such as kinetic strike data, ANDSF development, retention, and casualty rates, and progress on achieving the central tenants of the bilateral U.S.-Afghanistan Compact. The restriction of information in this manner undermines public confidence, hinders necessary congressional oversight, and raises legitimate questions about the efficacy of current U.S. efforts in Afghanistan. Extension and modification of Commanders' Emergency Response Program (sec. 1224) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1213) that would extend the Commanders' Emergency Response Program through 2020 and would modify the countries in which ex gratia payments are authorized to include Somalia, Yemen, and Libya. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would extend the Commanders’ Emergency Response Program through 2019 and would modify the countries in which ex gratia payments are authorized to include Somalia, Yemen, and Libya. Extension and modification of authority for reimbursement of certain coalition nations for support provided to United States military operations (sec. 1225) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1212) that would extend through December 31, 2019, the authority to make Coalition Support Fund (CSF) payments under section 1233 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181). The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1212) that would extend the authority to make CSF payments and authorize up to $350.0 million. It would also prohibit Pakistan from receiving CSF reimbursements except under the authority of a separate border security provision (sec. 1204). The House recedes. The conferees recognize that stability in the South Asia region cannot be achieved without cooperation with the Government of Pakistan. The conferees also recognize that there are a number of areas in which U.S. and Pakistani national security interests converge. Pakistan has long been an important security partner and that has not changed. It is important, however, to seek new opportunities for coordination and cooperation that is transparent and mutually beneficial. SUBTITLE C—MATTERS RELATING TO SYRIA, IRAQ, AND IRAN Extension and modification of authority to provide assistance to the vetted Syrian opposition (sec. 1231) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1222) that would extend the authority under section 1209 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. “Buck” McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113–291), as amended, through December 31, 2019. The provision would also limit the reprogramming of any funds until thirty days after the President submits to the congressional defense committees a plan describing the objectives, activities, and nature of the partner forces trained and equipped under this authority. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1222) that would extend the authority through 2019. It would also limit the use of any funds authorized to be appropriated for fiscal 2019 under this authority until the President submits to the appropriate congressional committees the report on the United States strategy in Syria as required by section 1221 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) and a report describing the plans, processes, mechanisms, and accompanying governance and stabilization activities for training the internal security forces of the vetted Syrian opposition under this authority. Finally, the Senate provision would limit the obligation or expenditure of any funds under this authority until the Secretary of Defense submits to the congressional defense committees a written certification every 120 days after the enactment of this Act on progress toward defeating the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and efforts to promote stabilization, equitable governance, and adherence to United States standards for human rights and the rule of law with respect to support under this authority. The House recedes with an amendment that would retain the reprogramming requirement and replace the certification requirement with a requirement for a quarterly report to be submitted by the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, to the appropriate congressional committees on progress in the campaign against ISIS and in stabilization, equitable governance, and other matters in Syria. The conferees recognize the significant progress made by coalition forces against ISIS, but remain deeply concerned by the lack of clarity and conflicting messages from administration officials on the United States’ strategy in Syria. The conferees urge the administration to provide the information necessary for the Congress to adequately evaluate the requirements for this authority and how it contributes to the accomplishment of U.S. objectives in Syria. Syrian war crimes accountability (sec. 1232) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6203) that would require the Secretary of State to submit a report on war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Syria to the appropriate congressional committees not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. It would also require another report not later than 180 days after the Secretary of State determines that the violence in Syria has ceased. The provision would direct the Secretary of State to conduct a study and submit a report on transitional justice in Syria and authorize technical assistance for the purposes of ensuring accountability for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide perpetrated by all forces fighting on the behalf of the regime of President Bashar al-Assad and all non-state armed groups fighting in Syria from March 2011 forward. Additionally, the provision would direct the Secretary of State, through the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations, to extend the mandate of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic until its work is complete. The House contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would make several technical and clarifying changes. Extension of authority to provide assistance to counter the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (sec. 1233) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1221) that would extend the authority under section 1236 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113291), as most recently amended by section 1222 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 11591), by authorizing the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, to provide $850.0 million in assistance to the military and other security forces of, or associated with, the Government of the Republic of Iraq, through December 31, 2020. Additionally, the House bill would express the sense of Congress on the contributions of the Peshmerga forces of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq in the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). It would also require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, to submit to the appropriate congressional committees and leadership of the House of Representatives and the Senate a quarterly progress report on the end-use of United States provided equipment and the extent to which any organizations associated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps have been incorporated into the Iraqi military. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1221) that would extend the authority through the end of 2020 while limiting the obligation or expenditure of more than $450.0 million of funds authorized for fiscal year 2019 until the report on the United States strategy in Iraq required by the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying Conference Report 115404 and a report on the planned use of funds and the purpose, size, roles, and missions of United States forces in Iraq is submitted to the appropriate congressional committees. The House recedes with an amendment that would retain the sense of Congress on the contributions of the Peshmerga and the quarterly progress report, along with several clarifications. Limitation on assistance to the Government of Iraq (sec. 1234) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1230D) that would limit the obligation or expenditure of funds authorized to be appropriated for this Act for assistance to the Ministry of the Interior of the Government of Iraq until the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State jointly certify to the appropriate congressional committees that such funds will not be disbursed by the United States to any group that is or is known to be affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force or other state sponsor of terrorism. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the reference to the Ministry of the Interior and expand the prohibition to the Government of Iraq as a whole, along with several technical and clarifying changes. Extension and modification of authority to support operations and activities of the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq (sec. 1235) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1223) that would amend section 1215 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), as amended, by extending the authority for the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq (OSC-I) for one year through fiscal year 2019. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1223) that would extend the authority for OSC-I through fiscal year 2019. The provision would limit the obligation or expenditure of more than 25 percent of funds authorized for OSC-I for fiscal year 2019 until the United States strategy on Iraq required by the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying Conference Report 115-404 and an additional report on the activities, missions, and plan for the normalization of OSC-I to conform to other offices of security cooperation are delivered to the appropriate congressional committees. The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. The conferees note that an earlier transition plan submitted by the Secretary of Defense pursuant to the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) and subsequent documentation related to OSC-I in the President’s Budget Request for Fiscal Year 2019 failed to provide the level of detail required for Congress to adequately consider this authority under the auspices of the Department of Defense. Modification to annual report on the military power of Iran (sec. 1236) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1228) that would require the President to submit a report to the appropriate congressional committees not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter for five years, on cooperation between Iran and the Russian Federation and the extent to which such cooperation affects United States interests, particularly with respect to Syria. The House bill contained an additional provision (sec. 1230E) that would require the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, to submit to Congress not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act a report describing Iranian expenditures in the previous calendar year on military and terrorist activities outside the country. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1225) that would amend section 1245 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), as amended, to require an assessment of military cooperation and collaboration on the development of nuclear, biological, chemical, and advanced conventional weapons, weapons systems, and delivery vehicles between Iran and the Russian Federation and additional information on the Government of Iran’s support to the Houthis. The House recedes. The conferees note that the Department of Defense’s congressionally mandated annual report on the military power of Iran requires extensive reporting requirements on Iranian military activity. Therefore, the conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to include detailed information in future reports on Russian and Iranian cooperation, particularly with respect to cooperation in Syria, assistance to the Assad regime, the establishment of forward operating bases, the deployment of air defense systems, and assistance to the Syrian chemical weapons program. The conferees also encourage the Secretary to include descriptions of any Russian and Iranian cooperation on: Iran’s space program, including whether such cooperation strengthens Iran’s ballistic missile program; intelligence sharing; naval cooperation; nuclear cooperation; the development and employment of hybrid warfare methods; and the activities of Iranian proxy forces such as Hezbollah. Strategy to counter destabilizing activities of Iran (sec. 1237) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1225) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to develop and implement a strategy with foreign partners to counter the destabilizing activities of Iran.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make a number of technical and clarifying changes. The conferees note the importance of multilateral cooperation in the Middle East and encourage the Secretary of Defense to enhance cooperation and military-to-military engagement within multilateral fora when appropriate and practicable. SUBTITLE D—MATTERS RELATING TO THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION Prohibition on availability of funds relating to sovereignty of the Russian Federation over Crimea (sec. 1241) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1231) that would extend by 1 year the prohibition imposed by section 1245 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92),as amended by section 1232 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 11591). This section would prohibit the use of fiscal year 2019 funds to implement any activity that recognizes the sovereignty of the Russian Federation over Crimea. This section would also allow the Secretary of Defense, in concurrence with the Secretary of State, to waive the prohibition if the Secretary determines that doing so would be in the national security interest of the United States and submits a notification to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1232) that would prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated or made available by this Act for fiscal year 2019 for the Department of Defense to implement any activity that recognizes the sovereignty of the Russian Federation over Crimea. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence with Secretary of State, to provide a justification for seeking any waiver to the prohibition.

The provision would allow the President to waive these requirements, without delegation, if he determines that the waiver is in the interest of the national security of the United States and that the Russian Federation has taken clear and verifiable action to return to full and complete compliance with the treaty. Finally, the provision would also require a report from the Secretary of Defense on the state of the OC-135B fleet, including a recommendation on a prospective retirement date. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1648) that would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of any funds for fiscal year 2019 for research, development, test, and engineering, Air Force, or aircraft procurement, Air Force, for the digital visual imaging system to modify U.S. aircraft for the purpose of implementing the Open Skies Treaty until the President and the Secretary of Defense submit the two certifications described in section 1235(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 11591). The Senate recedes with amendments that would modify the reporting requirements before a vote to approve certification of sensors in the OSCC; remove certification requirements related to Russian aggression and malign influence that are unrelated to treaty violations; modify the waiver requirements such that the President would have to certify that the Russian Federation has taken clear and verifiable action to return to compliance with the treaty; allow the President to delegate the waiver authority to the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and Director of National Intelligence; require these officials to submit a report to the appropriate congressional committees containing their views at least 30 days before exercising the waiver; and strike the reporting requirement related to the OC-135B fleet.

The report should also include a detailed description of the Secretary’s acquisition strategy for recapitalizing each platform’s capabilities, as well as the forecasted service-life expectancy dates for each variant of C-135 aircraft. In determining service-life expectancy dates, the Secretary should consider separately the structural integrity of the basic aircraft and the relevance and maintainability of the onboard mission systems to meet existing and evolving intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance requirements. Determination required regarding material breach of INF Treaty by the Russian Federation (sec. 1243) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1239) that would provide that, unless the President certifies to the specified congressional committees that the Russian Federation has returned to full and verifiable compliance with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty within 1 year of the date of the enactment of this Act, the prohibitions set forth in Article VI of the treaty would no longer be binding upon 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 instead require the President to submit to the appropriate congressional committees no later than January 15, 2019, a determination whether the Russian Federation is in material breach of its obligations under the INF Treaty, and if the prohibitions set forth in Article VI of the INF Treaty remain binding on the United States as a matter of U.S. law. Comprehensive response to the Russian Federation's material breach of the INF Treaty (sec. 1244) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1233) that would make a series of findings regarding the Russian Federation’s violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty and make a statement of policy that such violations constitute material breach of the treaty and therefore the United States is legally entitled to suspend the operation of the treaty for so long as Russia remains in material breach. The provision would also prohibit the obligation or expenditure of 25 percent of funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available to the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2019 to provide support services (other than those required for senior leader communications) to the Executive Office of the President until the President certifies that each requirement of section 1290 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) has been implemented and the President has submitted the report required by section 1244(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91). The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with amendments that would remove the findings; change the statement of policy to a sense of the Congress; make a technical amendment; and remove the limitation on funding. Report on implementation of the New START Treaty (sec. 1245) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1240) that would prohibit the expenditure of funds for the Department of Defense to extend the implementation of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) until the President certifies that the President has raised the issue of certain new Russian nuclear weapons systems under Article V of New START and that the Russian Federation has responded in writing to the United States as to whether it will agree to declare such nuclear weapons systems pursuant to the treaty.

The amendment would also add an assessment of the Republic of Turkey’s participation in the F-35 program, including a description of industrial participation of Turkish industry in the manufacturing and assembly of the F-35 program; an assessment of tooling and other manufacturing materials held by Turkish industry; and an assessment of the impacts of a significant change in participation by the Republic of Turkey in the F-35 program and the steps that would be required to mitigate negative impacts of such a change on the United States and other international program partners. The amendment would prohibit the Department of Defense from delivering any F-35 aircraft to the Republic of Turkey until such time as the required report has been submitted. The conferees recognize Turkey is an important international partner in the F-35 program, and that any significant change in Turkish participation could have substantial impacts on the program. However, Turkey’s expressed intention to purchase the S-400 air and missile defense system from Russia raises serious concerns regarding Turkey’s participation in the F-35 program. Moreover, such a purchase would have significant ramifications for the broader U.S.-Turkey relationship and defense cooperation, including the possibility of sanctions. Therefore, the conferees believe the Department of Defense should be prepared for all potential outcomes that would result if Turkey completes a purchase of the S-400 by conducting the assessment required of a significant change in Turkish participation in the F-35 program, including a reduction or elimination of such participation. Sense of the Congress concerning military-to-military dialogues (sec. 1283) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1279) that would express the sense of Congress regarding the parameters that lead to successful military-to-military dialogues. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Modifications to Global Engagement Center (sec. 1284) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1280) that would modify section 1287 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) relating to the Global Engagement Center (GEC). The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1262) that would extend for one year the transfer authority contained in section 1287(e)(1) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 relating to the GEC, and clarify the role, responsibilities and authorities of the GEC. The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. The conferees strongly support the mission of the GEC to counter false and misleading messaging by both state and nonstate adversaries and note the importance of integrating military and nonmilitary tools of statecraft to address these challenges. The conferees believe continuation of the transfer authority provided by this provision helps to facilitate such a whole-of-government approach. The conferees note that the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of State (DOS) signed a memorandum of understanding on February 26, 2018, to facilitate the transfer of $40.0 million for the purposes of countering propaganda and disinformation from foreign nations, more than a year after such transfers were authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 and after the Intelligence Community publicly reported Russian efforts to influence the 2016 elections. The conferees have significant concern about delayed action on these issues in the face of a significant and growing threat from Russia. The conferees strongly encourage DOD and DOS to fully utilize the authorities that have been provided to more aggressively counter propaganda by Russia and other state and non-state actors, and urge the Department to be more expeditious in the transfer of funds to the GEC for future projects. Sense of Congress on countering hybrid threats and malign influence (sec. 1285) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1297) that would express the sense of the Congress that the United States should work with its partners and allies to build resilience against Russian malign influence operations. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1238) that would request the Secretaries of the Defense and State Departments to urgently complete a strategy to counter Russian malign influence. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would call on the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State to urgently prioritize submission of the report required by section 1239A(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115–91; 131 Stat. 1671) on a comprehensive strategy to counter malign activities of Russia. Initiative to support protection of national security academic researchers from undue influence and other security threats (sec. 1286) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1283) that would require the Secretary of Defense to implement an application certification requirement for researchers seeking funding to ensure that funds not be made available to any individual who has participated in or is currently participating in a foreign talent program. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would replace the certification requirement with a directive to the Secretary of Defense to establish an initiative to support the protection of national security academic researchers from undue influence, including through foreign talent programs, and other security threats, by developing policies, training, and regulations and procedures with academic organizations to support the goals of this initiative. The conferees believe that such an initiative will help support the protection of intellectual property, controlled information, key personnel, and information about critical technologies relevant to national security; protect academic freedom and global scientific collaboration; limit undue influences by countries seeking to exploit United States technology within the Department of Defense research; and support efforts toward the development of domestic talent in relevant scientific and engineering fields. Report on Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador (sec. 1287) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1299H) that would direct the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, to submit to the congressional defense committees, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives a report regarding narcotics trafficking corruption and illicit campaign finance in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador not later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act. The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 6205).

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Coordination of efforts to negotiate free trade agreements with certain sub-Saharan African countries (sec. 1289) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6201) that would require the Chief Executive Officer of the Millennium Challenge Corporation to consult and coordinate with the United States Trade Representative and the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development for the purpose of developing and carrying out the plan required by section 116(b) of the African Growth and Opportunity Act under section 3723(b) of title 19, United States Code. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would modify section 1293 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328; 19 U.S.C. 3723 note) to require the United States Trade Representative to consult and coordinate with the Millennium Challenge Corporation and the United States Agency for International Development in specified circumstances. Certifications regarding actions by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in Yemen (sec. 1290) The Senate amendment included a provision (sec. 1266) that would prohibit the expenditure of funds to provide authorized in-flight refueling to Saudi or Saudi-led coalition non-United States aircraft conducting missions in Yemen, pending certifications by the Secretary of State that the Government of Saudi Arabia is taking certain actions related to the civil war in Yemen. The provision would include several exceptions and a national security waiver that may be exercised by the Secretary of State. The House bill contained no such provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would require the certification on actions undertaken by the United Arab Emirates in addition to Saudi Arabia. Treatment of Rwandan Patriotic Front and Rwandan Patriotic Army under Immigration and Nationality Act (sec. 1291) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6202) that would exclude the Rwandan Patriotic Front and the Rwandan Patriotic Army from the definition of terrorist organization under specified sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3)(B)(vi)(III))) for any period before August 1, 1994. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. Limitation on availability of funds to implement the Arms Trade Treaty (sec. 1292) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1299M) that would prohibit the availability of funds for fiscal year 2019 for the Department of Defense to obligate or expend to fund a Secretariat or any other international organization established 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 that would prohibit the use of any funds authorized to be appropriated by this act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2019 for the Department of Defense to implement the Arms Trade Treaty, or to make any change to existing programs, projects, or activities as approved by Congress in furtherance of, pursuant to, or otherwise to implement such Treaty, unless the Treaty has received the advice and consent of the Senate and has been the subject of implementing legislation, as required by Congress. Prohibition on provision of weapons and other forms of support to certain organizations (sec. 1293) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1282) that would prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act to the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2019 to provide weapons to a number of specified terrorist organizations and any other entity that the Secretary of Defense determines may trade or sell arms to terrorist organizations. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. Modified waiver authority for certain sanctionable transactions under section 231 of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (sec. 1294) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1236) that would require reports with regard to Russian violations of the INF Treaty and the supply chains for Russian arms sales program. The provision would also require the imposition of sanctions against specific persons, with a focus on persons providing support to the Russian defense industrial supply chain. The provision would also amend section 231 of the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) (Public Law 115-44) by providing an authority to suspend the imposition of sanctions under that Act for 180-day periods if the President provides certain certifications. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would provide a modified procedure by which the President may use the existing authority under section 236(b) of CAATSA, without regard to the expedited review procedures in section 216 of CAATSA, to waive the application of sanctions if the President provides a certification to the appropriate congressional committees not less than 30 days in advance of the waiver taking effect. The amendment would preclude the President from using the waiver with respect to a significant transaction with specified entities of the Russian defense or intelligence sectors, including the Main Intelligence Agency of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (GRU), which the United States intelligence community assessed on January 6, 2017, played a direct role in Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election. The President would be required to certify that the waiver is in the national security interests of the United States. The President would also be required to certify that the significant transaction for which the waiver is being used would not: (1) endanger the integrity of any multilateral alliance of which the United States is a part; (2) adversely affect ongoing operations of the Armed Forces of the United States, including coalition operations in which the such forces participate; (3) result in a significant negative impact to defense cooperation between the United States and the country whose government has primary jurisdiction over the person; and (4) significantly increase the risk of compromising United States defense systems and operational capabilities, including through the diversion of United States sensitive technology. The President would be further required to certify that the government with primary jurisdiction over the person who engages in the significant transaction is: (1) taking or will take steps to reduce its inventory of major defense equipment and advanced conventional weapons produced by the defense sector of the Russian Federation as a share of its total inventory of major defense equipment and advanced conventional weapons over a specified period; or cooperating with the United States Government on other matters that are critical to United States strategic national security interests. Not later than 120 days after the date on which the President submits the specified certification, and annually thereafter for two years, the amendment would require the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense to jointly submit a report on such waiver, including: (1) the extent to which the waiver under section 236(b) has or has not resulted in the compromise of United States systems and operational capabilities, including through the diversion of United States sensitive technology to a person that is part of, or operates for or on behalf of, the intelligence sectors of the Government of the Russian Federation; and (2) the extent to which the government with primary jurisdiction over the person is taking specific enforcement actions. Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the amendment would require the President to submit an initial report that describes those persons that the President has determined under section 231 of CAATSA have knowingly engaged in a significant transaction with a person that is part of, or operates for or on behalf of, the defense or intelligence sectors of the Government of the Russian Federation. The amendment would also require updates every 90 days thereafter for a period of 5 years. The amendment would clarify that nothing in its contents would modify, waive, or terminate any existing sanctions in effect on the date of enactment of this Act. Rule of construction relating to the use of force (sec. 1295) The House bill contained three provisions (sec. 1230A, sec. 1267, and sec. 1288) providing a rule of construction that nothing in this Act may be construed as authorizing the use of force against Iran or North Korea. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that elsewhere in this Act is a provision that addresses the importance of a rigorous assessment, monitoring, and evaluation regime of the Department’s security cooperation programs and activities and the importance of incorporating lessons learned to increase the effectiveness of future security cooperation programs. Report on assistance to Pakistan The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1214) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days after the enactment of this Act describing the manner in which the Department provides assistance to the Government of Pakistan.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees recognize the importance of ballistic missile defense cooperation in the Middle East, particularly among the member countries of the GCC given Iran’s ballistic missile program and its broader destabilizing actions in the region. The conferees encourage the countries of the GCC to take meaningful steps to develop and implement an interoperable ballistic missile defense architecture to defend against the Iranian ballistic missile threat that emphasizes information sharing and includes early warning and tracking data. Furthermore, the conferees support continued bilateral and multilateral missile defense exercises between the United States and its partners in the region and encourage increasing the capacity of those partners through foreign military sales as appropriate and practicable. Syria Study Group The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1224) that would establish a Syria Study Group tasked with providing a report with findings and recommendations on the military and diplomatic strategy of the United States with respect to the conflict in Syria.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act on the potential for release of chemical weapons or chemical weapons precursors from the two facilities in question, the Barzeh Research and Development Center and the Him Shinshar chemical weapons storage and bunker facilities in Homs province of Syria that were targets of strikes by the United States and partner forces on April 13, 2018. The briefing should include an assessment of the methodology the Secretary of Defense used prior to such strikes to determine the potential of the release of chemical agents or chemical weapons precursors affecting local residents and the potential for chemical agents to enter into the aquifer, air, soil, or other aspects of the environment. Report on Iranian support of proxy forces in Syria and Lebanon The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1229) that would require the President to submit to Congress not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act a report that describes the Government of Iran’s support of proxy forces in Syria and Lebanon and assesses the resulting threat posed to Israel, other regional allies of the United States, and the interests of the United States. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that the Department of Defense’s congressionally mandated annual report on the military power of Iran already requires information on support from Iran to groups designated by the United States as foreign terrorist organizations and regional militant groups, including forces that are willing to carry out operations on behalf of Iran. The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to include detailed information in future reports regarding: the regional threats posed by arms or related material transferred by Iran to Hezbollah; the means by which such arms transfers are made; and the impacts of Iranian and Iranian-controlled personnel, including Hezbollah, Shiite militias, and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps forces, operating within Syria. The conferees also note that, elsewhere in this report, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of State and other appropriate officials, to submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report specific to Hezbollah. Sense of Congress on the lack of authorization for the use of the Armed Forces against Iran The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1230) that would express the sense of Congress that the use of the Armed Forces against Iran is not authorized by this Act or any other Act. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes.

At the time of the signing of this report, the conferees are not aware of any information that would justify the use of military force against Iran under any other statutory authority. Afghanistan security The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1230B) that would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, to submit a report on the progress made by the Government of Afghanistan in achieving the security-sector benchmarks as outlined by the United States-Afghan Compact. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees welcome the introduction of the bilateral U.S.-Afghanistan Compact, and the focus on the four pillars of governance, economics, peace and reconciliation, and security. However, the conferees are disappointed by the lack of transparency provided by the Department of Defense and the Department of State on the central tenants of the Compact and the associated benchmarks. The conferees note that further detail on the Compact and its security-sector benchmarks is required elsewhere in this report. Sense of Congress on ballistic missile program of Iran The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1230C) that would express the sense of Congress that the ballistic missile program of Iran represents a serious threat to the allies of the United States in the Middle East and Europe, members of the Armed Forces deployed in those regions, and ultimately the United States. It would also express the sense of Congress that the Government of the United States should impose tough primary and secondary sanctions against institutions and persons that directly or indirectly support the program. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees remain deeply concerned by Iran’s ballistic missile program, which poses a significant threat to regional stability and United States interests. Iran’s testing and production of ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons violates multiple unanimously adopted United Nations Security Council resolutions. To address this threat, the conferees believe existing unilateral and multilateral sanctions should be fully utilized to help deny support to the Iranian ballistic missile program and that the United States should continue to engage with partners and allies to address the Iranian ballistic missile threat. Imposition of sanctions The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1230F) that would require the President to impose specified sanctions on AsSaib Ahl al-Haq, Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, and foreign persons with certain associations with the former two organizations. The Senate amendment contained no such provision. The House recedes. The conferees encourage the Secretary of State to continuously review whether groups that are affiliated with Iran meet the criteria for designation as a foreign terrorist organization or the application of sanctions pursuant to Executive Order 13224. Report on United States strikes against Syria The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1230G) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act to the congressional defense committees a report providing a detailed explanation of the legal basis under both domestic and international law for the strikes conducted by the United States in Syria on April 6, 2017 and April 13, 2018. The House bill also included a provision (sec. 1230H) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense committees, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives on the United States military strikes on Syria on April 13, 2018. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit, not later than 30 days after the enactment of this Act, a report on the United States strikes on Syria on April 6, 2017 and April 13, 2018, to the congressional defense committees and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives. The report, which shall be unclassified but may include a classified annex, shall include the following elements: (1) A legal analysis of the relevant domestic and international authorities and precedents justifying the strikes; (2) A description of the objectives of the strikes and assessment of whether such objectives were achieved by the strikes; and (3) An assessment of the extent to which the operations of the Syrian military or other pro-regime forces were affected by such strikes, including whether the strikes had any lasting impact on such operations. Report on evolving financing mechanisms leveraged by the Islamic State and affiliate entities The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1230I) that would require the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of State to submit to Congress a report that contains an assessment on current and projected funding mechanisms used by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and its affiliates, as well as efforts by the United States to deny access to such mechanisms. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees acknowledge the importance and complexity of counter-terrorist financing efforts led by the Department of the Treasury, the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and other departments and agencies in targeting an array of terrorist organizations, including ISIS, which maintain diversified revenue streams. Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Treasury, and Secretary of Defense, in coordination with other relevant Federal officials, to provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days after the enactment of this Act, on ISIS and its affiliates’ finances, trends in their revenue streams and means of financial support, and United States’ efforts to deny them access to funding mechanisms. Sense of Senate on relocation of Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1234) that would express the sense of the Senate concerning the relocation of the Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex (JIAC). The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note that the House bill and Senate amendment contained provisions, which require that military construction related to the relocation of the JIAC shall take place within the United Kingdom. These provisions are addressed elsewhere in this report. In addition, the conferees believe that in consideration of any future plans, including the conduct of any analysis of alternatives, regarding the relocation of the JIAC, the Secretary of Defense should maintain its collocation with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Intelligence Fusion Center. Statement of policy on United States military investment in Europe The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1235) 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, including through investments to enhance U.S. force posture in Europe. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that sustaining credible deterrence against Russian aggression and enhancing U.S. force posture in Europe are addressed elsewhere in this report. Report on security cooperation between the Russian Federation and Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1237) that would require the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency to submit not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act to the appropriate committees of Congress a report on security cooperation between the Russian Federation and Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

The conferees continue to be concerned by Russian military and intelligence activity in the Western Hemisphere and urge the Department of Defense to engage in dialogue and cooperation on security with U.S. partners and allies in the region. Furthermore, conferees direct the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act to submit to the Committee on Armed Services, Committee on Foreign Relations, and Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives a report on security cooperation between the Russian Federation and Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela with the following elements: (1) An assessment of bilateral security cooperation between the Russian Federation and Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, respectively, that includes each of the following: (a) A list of Russian weapon systems or other military hardware or technology valued at not less than $1.0 million provided to or purchased by such country since January 1, 2007; (b) A description of the participation of the security forces of such country in training or exercises with the security forces of the Russian Federation since January 1, 2007; (c) A description of any security cooperation agreement between the Russian Federation and such country; (d) A description of any military or intelligence infrastructure, facilities, and assets developed by the Russian Federation in each such country and any associated agreements or understandings between the Russian Federation and such country; and (2) An assessment of security cooperation, specifically in an advisory role, among Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Finally, the provision would require the Secretary to conduct a risk and cost impact analysis for launch vehicles for national security payloads, and submit such analysis to the appropriate congressional committees no later than 180 days from the date of enactment of this Act. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1605) that would require the Secretary of Defense to pursue a strategy that includes fully or partially reusable launch systems as part of ensuring assured access for national security payloads to space. It would make the same change in name as the House provision and require the Secretary to submit a report to Congress no less than 60 days before any solicitation for procurement of launch services is issued. The Senate recedes with several technical amendments and an amendment that would require the Secretary to notify the appropriate congressional committees not later than 10 days after issuing a solicitation for a contract for space launch services for which reusable launch vehicles are not eligible, rather than 60 days before. The conferees encourage the Secretary to continue to develop a process to evaluate and certify launch vehicles using previously flown components or systems for national security space launch. Provision of space situational awareness services and information (sec. 1604) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1603) that would terminate on January 1, 2024, the authority of the Department of Defense (DOD) to provide space situational awareness data to commercial and foreign entities.

This provision would also direct the Secretary of Defense to develop and submit to Congress a plan to ensure that one or more departments may provide space situational awareness services to non-U.S. Government entities. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with amendments that would strike the requirement for a contract with an FFRDC and instead require the President to submit to the appropriate congressional committees no later than 180 days from the date of enactment of this Act a plan for a department or agency other than the DOD to provide space situational awareness services and information to commercial and foreign entities.

The provision would allow the Secretary of Defense to waive this prohibition if he determines that imposing a requirement is necessary to avoid negative consequences for the national security space program. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with a technical amendment and an amendment that would grant the above waiver authority to the Secretary of the Air Force, with a requirement to notify the Secretary of Transportation first. Space warfighting policy, review of space capabilities, and plan on space warfighting readiness (sec. 1607) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1612) that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and commence implementation of a plan that identifies joint mission-essential tasks for space as a warfighting domain. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1602) that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop a space warfighting policy not later than March 29, 2019. The provision would also direct the Secretary of Defense to conduct a review relating to the national security space enterprise, including resiliency, attribution challenges, deterrence, acquisition cycles, organizational structures, and emerging threats. The House recedes with amendments that would incorporate the plan required by the House provision into the Senate provision, both due not later than March 29, 2019, and modify several of the specific requirements of the review required by the Senate provision. The conferees also encourage coordination with the Director of National Intelligence as the review is conducted and this policy is developed. The conferees note that national security satellites face growing threats from potential adversary attacks, such as antisatellite weapons or jamming, and from environmental hazards, such as orbital debris. A single launch failure, on-orbit problem, or attack on a single satellite could result, in some cases, in the loss of billions of dollars of investment and a significant loss of capability. Protecting space assets has therefore become a priority for the Department, and funding for space protection has increased in recent years. Accordingly, the conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a review of space protection programs of the Department of Defense, including a review of the status of the primary space protection acquisition efforts underway or planned by the Department. The conferees are also interested in the extent to which these efforts and plans are coordinated across the Department and among other government, commercial, and international entities. The conferees direct the Comptroller General to provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees no later than March 15, 2019, with a report to follow by a date agreed at the time of the briefing. Use of small- and medium-size buses for strategic and tactical satellite payloads (sec. 1608) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1606) that would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing on the risks, benefits, and cost savings associated with using small- and medium-size buses for strategic and tactical satellite payloads for protected satellite communications programs and next-generation overhead persistent infrared systems. The provision would also require the Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) to certify that future analyses of alternatives include materiel solutions for using small- and medium-size buses. Finally, this provision would require the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Air Force, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 240 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, on alternative space-based architectures using small-, medium-, and large-size buses. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with amendments that would specify that the CAPE assessments should be submitted at completion of each relevant analysis of alternatives, and that the briefing provided by the Secretary of Defense should also take into account requirements for radiation hardening of critical components. Enhancement of positioning, navigation, and timing capacity (sec. 1609) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1605) that would require the Secretary of the Air Force to ensure that military Global Positioning System user equipment terminals have the capability to receive trusted signals from the Galileo and QZSS satellite constellations, starting with increment 2. This provision would also require the terminals to have the capability to receive non-allied positioning, navigation, and timing signals if the Secretary of Defense determines that the benefits outweigh the risks or the risks can be appropriately mitigated. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would allow the Secretary of Defense to waive the requirement for increment 2 terminals to receive signals from Galileo and QZSS satellites if he determines it necessary for national security. The Secretary would not be able to delegate such waiver authority below the level of the Deputy Secretary of Defense and would be required to submit a report with the waiver providing rationale for why the capability was not incorporated into increment 2, and providing a plan and timeline for incorporation of the capability in future increments. Designation of component of Department of Defense responsible for coordination of modernization efforts relating to militarycode capable GPS receiver cards (sec. 1610) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1607) that would require the Secretary of Defense to designate a component of the Office of the Secretary of Defense to be responsible for coordinating common solutions for the military-code modernization efforts among the military departments, Defense Agencies, and other appropriate elements of the Department of Defense not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act. The provision would also require the Secretary to submit a report no later than March 15, 2019, and annually through 2021, on these efforts. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees appreciate the efforts of the Council on Oversight of the Department of Defense Position, Navigation, and Timing Enterprise to support military-code modernization efforts thus far and encourage the Secretary to draw on the expertise of the Council. Designation of component of Department of Defense responsible for coordination of hosted payload information (sec. 1611) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1608) that would make a series of findings and require the Secretary of Defense to designate a component of the Department of Defense to be responsible for coordinating information, processes, and lessons learned relating to use of commercially hosted payloads across the military departments, Defense Agencies, and other appropriate elements of the Department of Defense not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would strike the findings. Limitation on availability of funds for Joint Space Operations Center mission system (sec. 1612) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1609) that would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of any funds for fiscal year 2019 for the Joint Space Operations Center Mission System (JMS) and limit obligation or expenditure of 25 percent of funds for fiscal year 2019 for the Enterprise Space Battle Management Command and Control program until the Deputy Secretary of Defense provides to the congressional defense committees a certification that the Secretary of the Air Force has entered into a contract to operationalize commercial space situational awareness processing software to address warfighter requirements and fill gaps in current space situational awareness capabilities. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the limitation on funds for JMS to 50 percent and require the Secretary of the Air Force to submit the certification, rather than the Deputy Secretary of Defense. Evaluation and enhanced security of supply chain for protected satellite communications programs and overhead persistent infrared systems (sec. 1613) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1610) that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop a plan for and conduct evaluations of supply chain vulnerabilities for protected satellite communications and next-generation overhead persistent infrared (OPIR) systems, and develop risk mitigation strategies for the identified vulnerabilities. The provision would also require the Secretary to establish requirements to carry out the supply chain vulnerability evaluation and submit such requirements to the congressional defense committees not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. The conferees note that the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) contained a similar provision, section 1659, that required the Secretary of Defense to evaluate supply chain vulnerabilities for programs related to nuclear weapons, nuclear command, control, and communications, continuity of government, and ballistic missile defense. The conferees encourage the Secretary to leverage work done in support of that requirement where appropriate, and do not intend for this provision to supersede section 1659. The conferees note that the Air Force is currently planning to use an accelerated acquisition process to rapidly develop a block of next generation OPIR satellites, with fielding to begin in fiscal year 2025, and a follow-on block in fiscal year 2030. While this program is mainly intended to focus on core survivable strategic missile warning requirements, it is unclear whether and how it will satisfy other requirements, including those addressed by the legacy Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS). It is also unclear how technology development over the past decade will help inform the next generation program. Accordingly, the conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United States to review the early planning for the next generation OPIR system and associated ground capabilities. The review should assess: 1) What challenges and risks, if any, does the next generation OPIR acquisition effort face, and what, if anything, is being planned to address these challenges and risks? 2) To what extent will the next generation OPIR system continue to fulfill existing key SBIRS capabilities? 3) To what extent is the Air Force coordinating with other agencies inside and outside the Department of Defense, such as the Missile Defense Agency, to help ensure sustainment of current capabilities and limit the potential for duplicative acquisition efforts? 4) To what extent is the Air Force leveraging commercial space industry advances and technology development initiatives to develop a lower cost system sooner? The Comptroller General shall provide an initial briefing to the congressional defense committees no later than March 15, 2019, with a report to follow at a date to be agreed upon at the time of the briefing. Report on protected satellite communications (sec. 1614) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1611) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees no later than December 31, 2018, on how specific protected satellite communications programs meet the requirements for resilience, mission assurance, and the nuclear command, control, and communication mission of the Department of Defense. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Report on enhancements to the Global Positioning System Operational Control Segment (sec. 1615) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1603) that would require the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to the congressional defense committees no later than 1 year after date of the enactment of this Act on potential further enhancements to the Operational Control Segment for the Global Positioning System to achieve capabilities similar to the Next Generation Operational Control Segment, including cybersecurity enhancements and other incremental capabilities. The report would also include the cost and schedule for such additional capabilities and enhancements. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with clarifying amendments. Report on persistent weather imagery for United States Central Command (sec. 1616) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1614) that would require the Secretary of the Air Force to develop a plan to provide persistent weather imagery of the U.S. Central Command area of operations to the Command after 2025. The Secretary would be required to submit such plan to the congressional defense committees by March 1, 2019. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would instead require the Secretary to submit a report with options to provide such imagery. Study on space-based radio frequency mapping (sec. 1617) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1613) that would require the Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence to jointly conduct a study on the capabilities of the private sector with respect to radio frequency mapping and associated services for space-based electromagnetic collections. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with clarifying amendments. Independent study on space launch locations (sec. 1618) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1615) that would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract with a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) to conduct a study on space launch locations, including with respect to the development and capacity of existing and new locations, and the vulnerabilities of the use of existing and new locations. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with several amendments that would clarify the areas of focus of the study and remove the prohibition on entering into a contract with an FFRDC for which the Air Force Space Command or the Launch Center of the National Aeronautical and Space Administration is a sponsor. The conferees continue to recognize the unique importance of U.S. Federal Aviation Administration-licensed spaceports and, when appropriate, encourage the use of such spaceports and complexes for certain orbits in support of national security space priorities. The conferees note that a variety of spaceports are already operational or in development, including in Georgia, New Mexico, Alaska, Oklahoma, Virginia, Texas, and Arizona; the conferees support this diversification of launch options available to the Department of Defense. Briefing on commercial satellite servicing capabilities (sec. 1619) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1617) that would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, to jointly provide to the congressional defense committees and to other appropriate committees upon request a briefing detailing the costs, risks, and operational benefits of leveraging commercial satellite servicing capabilities for national security satellite systems. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. SUBTITLE B—DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AND INTELLIGENCE-RELATED ACTIVITIES Role of Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (sec. 1621) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1621) that would amend section 137 of title 10, United States Code, to clarify the responsibilities of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. Security vetting for foreign nationals (sec. 1622) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1622) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to apply additional security reviews to dual citizens seeking positions that require access to highly classified information. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would broaden the provision to vetting, instead of solely clearances, and would involve the Security Executive Agent. Department of Defense Counterintelligence polygraph program (sec. 1623) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1623) that would amend section 1564a of title 10, United States Code, by authorizing the Secretary of Defense to add dual citizens to the Department of Defense counterintelligence polygraph program, for the purposes of assessing risk. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that specifies that this addition will only apply in the case of an authorized investigation. Defense intelligence business management systems (sec. 1624) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1624) that would direct the Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense to develop and implement standardized business process rules for the planning, programming, budgeting, and execution process for the Military Intelligence Program. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note that insufficient insight into the Military Intelligence Program budget inhibits the congressional oversight of the Military Intelligence Program. Modification to annual briefing on the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance requirements of the combatant commands (sec. 1625) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1625) that would require the Department of Defense to incorporate into the existing report required by section 1626 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. "Buck" McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) data related to the number of requests for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capability and capacity submitted to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) by the combatant commanders, the number of requests formally validated by the CJCS, the quantity of validated requests tasked to the Services to fulfill, and the amount of validated requests actually fulfilled by the Services. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Framework on governance, mission management, resourcing, and effective oversight of combat support agencies that are also elements of the intelligence community (sec. 1626) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1611) that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and codify in policy a framework and supporting processes within the Department of Defense to ensure that the missions, roles, and functions of the combat support agencies of the Department of Defense that are also elements of the intelligence community, and other intelligence components of the Department, are appropriately balanced and resourced. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. SUBTITLE C—CYBERSPACE-RELATED MATTERS Reorganization and consolidation of certain cyber provisions (sec. 1631) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1624) that would amend part I of subtitle A of title 10, United States Code, by transferring sections 130g, 130j, and 130k, currently of chapter 3, to chapter 19, reorganizing this law under “Cyber Matters” rather than “General Powers and Functions.” The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Affirming the authority of the Secretary of Defense to conduct military activities and operations in cyberspace (sec. 1632) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1622) that would affirm the authority of the Secretary of Defense to conduct military activities and operations in cyberspace, including clandestine military activities and operations, to defend the United States, its allies, and its interests, in anticipation of and in response to malicious cyber activities carried out against the United States or a United States person by a foreign power and would clarify that clandestine military activities or operations in cyberspace are traditional military activities for the purposes of section 503(e)(2) of the National Security Act of 1947 (Public Law 80-253). The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that the affirmation does not itself authorize any specific military activities or operations and should not be treated as an authorization for use of military force. The conferees note that the Department of Defense faces difficulties within the interagency in obtaining mission approval. One of the challenges routinely confronted by the Department is the perceived ambiguity as to whether clandestine military activities and operations, even those short of cyber attacks, qualify as traditional military activities as distinct from covert actions requiring a Presidential Finding. As a result, with respect to actions that produce effects on information systems outside of areas of active hostilities, the Department of Defense has been limited to proposing actions that could be conducted overtly on attributable infrastructure without deniability—an operational space that is far too narrow to defend national interests. The conferees see no logical, legal, or practical reason for allowing extensive clandestine traditional military activities in all other operational domains (air, sea, ground, and space) but not in cyberspace. It is unfortunate that the executive branch has squandered years in interagency deliberations that failed to recognize this basic fact and that this legislative action has proven necessary. The conferees, in this affirmation, specify that military activities and operations, or associated preparatory actions, conducted in cyberspace, marked by, held in, or conducted with secrecy, and carried out, (1) as part of a military operation plan approved by the President or the Secretary in anticipation of hostilities or as directed by the President or the Secretary, (2) to deter, safeguard, or defend against attacks or malicious cyber activities against the United States or Department of Defense information, networks, systems, installations, facilities, or other assets, or (3) in support of information related capabilities, indeed qualify as traditional military activities. Such activities include those conducted for the purpose of preparation of the environment, force protection, deterrence of hostilities, advancing counterterrorism operations, and in support of information operations or information-related capabilities. Information-related capabilities may include, when appropriate and approved, military deception and psychological operations. The conferees do not intend or expect that this provision will result in the Department’s unnecessarily or routinely conducting clandestine cyber attacks, especially those outside of areas in which hostilities are occurring, but nonetheless recognize that it is important that the Department have the ability to respond to and prepare for hostilities in cyberspace. The conferees urge the Department to pursue more active engagement with and deterrence of adversaries in cyberspace. The conferees also urge the administration to reconfigure its interagency processes as necessary to ensure that the Department’s operations are approved in an appropriately efficient and effective manner. The conferees intend to conduct rigorous oversight of Department of Defense clandestine operations in cyberspace and expect the Department to keep the congressional defense committees apprised of activities and operations and informed regarding operational authorities and associated execute orders. Finally, the conferees recognize that information operations are particularly contested and controversial. While the conferees agree that the Department should conduct aggressive information operations to deter adversaries, as is recommended by the Defense Science Board’s Task Force on Cyber Deterrence in its February 2017 report, the conferees do not intend this affirmation as an authorization of clandestine activities against the American people or of activities that could result in any significant exposure of the American people and media to U.S. government-created information. Department of Defense Cyber Scholarship Program scholarships and grants (sec. 1633) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1640) that would amend section 2200c of title 10, United States Code, to require consideration, in the scholarship granting process authorized in section 2200a of the same title, of whether the candidates in question are pursuing education at historically Black colleges and universities or other minority-serving institutions. The Senate amendment contained an identical (sec. 6101) provision. The conference agreement includes this provision. Amendments to pilot program regarding cyber vulnerabilities of Department of Defense critical infrastructure (sec. 1634) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1631) that would modify section 1650 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to incorporate the Defense Digital Service into pilot program authorities for identifying innovative methodologies and engineering approaches to evaluate vulnerabilities of Department of Defense critical infrastructure. The provision would also extend deadlines associated with the program. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Modification of acquisition authority of the Commander of the United States Cyber Command (sec. 1635) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1627) that would amend section 807 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) by extending the acquisition authority established in that section for the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, through fiscal year 2025 and raising the limit on obligation and expenditure pursuant to that authority to $250.0 million. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate the increase of the limit on obligation and expenditure. The conferees direct the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, to provide, not later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act, to the congressional defense committees a report detailing the use of this authority to date. The report shall include an assessment of any impacts of the expenditure limit set on the exercise of this authority on planned Cyber Command acquisition activities, as well as a juxtaposition of the types of cyber-peculiar products, services, and technologies procured using this authority and those cyber capabilities procured by the Services using their acquisition authorities. The report shall also include the definition of cyber-peculiar capabilities and cyber-peculiar services, a description of memoranda of agreements with the Services for acquisition of cyber capabilities, and details regarding the acquisition expertise at U.S. Cyber Command, including the number of senior acquisition executives and contracting officials authorized to be hired at the headquarters. Policy of the United States on cyberspace, cybersecurity, cyber warfare, and cyber deterrence (sec. 1636) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1621) that would establish the policy of the United States with respect to cyberspace, cybersecurity, and cyber warfare. The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec. 6601) that would amend section 1621 to narrow the policy’s prescriptions to only apply to cyber attacks and malicious cyber activities by a foreign power. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would integrate both provisions and would make minor changes to the statement of policy, striking the priorities of the United States in carrying out the policy and the policy on sovereignty in cyberspace. The amendment would also require an update on the Presidential Policy submitted to the Congress pursuant to section 1633 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91). The conferees note that the policy submitted to the Congress was incomplete. The 6-page memorandum, written in response to the reporting requirement of the National Defense Authorization Act, introduced a 63-page report written in response to Executive Order 13800. The conferees were disappointed with the former’s brevity and the latter’s significant number of items to be resolved. The report in sum evinced little consideration of the difficult choices intrinsic to the policy-making process, instead recommending further working groups, task forces, and deliberation for the creation and implementation of a national strategy in cyberspace. The conferees therefore seek an update on the progress of the core initiatives recommended by report: the establishment of a policy for cost imposition, a menu for consequences, policyplanning guidance, and the Cyber Deterrence Initiative. In reporting the status of these initiatives, the conferees urge the President to include, to the extent possible and protected by classification, as necessary: (1) the administration’s plans, including specific planned actions, regulations, and legislative action required for their development; (2) steps taken to date to prepare for the imposition of consequences against the Russian Federation, People’s Republic of China, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and the Islamic Republic of Iran in cyberspace (e.g., zero-day discovery, tool-development, and preposition of malware) and through other instruments of national power; and (3) criteria for use of particular consequences, including criteria as to when responsive cyber attacks are likely to be particularly escalatory, as to when, and specifically against which adversaries, responsive cyber attacks are likely to be particularly effective as means of deterrence, and as to when the risk and consequences of escalation due to responsive action outweigh the risk and cost of non-action or action by financial, law enforcement, and diplomatic means alone. The conferees also urge the President to include the administration’s considerations and determinations surrounding: (1) whether all cyber attacks of significant consequence below the threshold of war demand response; (2) whether significant attacks on private sector companies outside of critical infrastructure demand response, including examples of attacks on companies that might beget response; (3) whether, in certain circumstances, the United States should privilege immediacy in response to achieving full technical attribution; (4) under what circumstances the United States should attempt to blunt, render useless, or defeat detected attacks through offensive cyber action in real-time, including examples of such circumstances; (5) how the United States can balance the establishment of stable norms in cyberspace and responsive offensive action, including through diplomatic means; (6) how the United States balances the sovereignty and equities of third-party countries whose infrastructure hosts or accommodates transit of adversary malware, including examples of feasible and infeasible actions; and (7) how the United States balances privacy, freedom of action, and values implicit to a market economy in imposing cybersecurity and disclosure requirements on the private sector, including an assessment of the adequacy of current law and regulations. Budget display for cyber vulnerability evaluations and mitigation activities for major weapon systems of the Department of Defense (sec. 1637) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1632) that would require that the justification materials submitted to the Congress by the Secretary of Defense in support of the President's annual budget request for the Department of Defense include a consolidated display for cyber vulnerability evaluations and mitigation activities for each major weapon system beginning in fiscal year 2021. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify the classification procedures governing this requirement. The conferees are concerned that the Department has yet to integrate cyber vulnerability evaluations and mitigation activities into the acquisition and budgeting timelines of its major programs. The conferees hope that this provision will encourage the notion that cyber vulnerability evaluations and mitigation activities are standard operation and maintenance. The conferees do not, however, intend this provision to in any way reveal the nature, content, or severity of discovered vulnerabilities and thus encourage the Department to protect through classification any material that could serve to aid adversaries’ discovery of cyber vulnerabilities. Determination of responsibility for the Department of Defense Information Networks (sec. 1638) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1633) that would mandate that the Secretary of Defense transfer all roles, missions, and responsibilities of the Commander, Joint Force Headquarters-Department of Defense Information Networks (JHFQDODIN) from the Defense Information Support Agency (DISA) to the Commander, United States Cyber Command, by September 30, 2019, subject to a certification that such transfer would not result in mission degradation. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would eliminate the mandate and would instead require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense committees a report assessing the current JFHQ-DODIN command and control structure, the adequacy of DISA’s institutional support to the JFHQ-DODIN mission, and JFHQ-DODIN's resource requirements and mission effectiveness. The report would also specify a determination and justification regarding the transfer of all or some of the roles, missions, and responsibilities of JFHQ-DODIN to the Commander, United States Cyber Command, along with a timeline and strategy for mitigating the risk of any such transfer. Procedures and reporting requirement on cybersecurity breaches and loss of personally identifiable information and controlled unclassified information (sec. 1639) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1636) that would require the Secretary of Defense to promptly notify, and establish procedures for notification of, the congressional defense committees in the event of a significant loss of personally identifiable information of at least 250 civilian or uniformed members of the Armed Forces. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would insert an additional notification requirement for the theft, loss, or disclosure of controlled information of significant volume or national security concern. The conferees are concerned by the recent theft of controlled information from a contractor for the Navy. Similarly troubling, the congressional defense committees were only alerted to this significant breach months after the initial loss. While the conferees understand that extenuating circumstances dictated that senior members of Navy leadership were similarly late to notification of the theft and that the investigation is on-going, this communication delay, both within the Department of Defense and across the branches of government, is unacceptable for a loss of this magnitude. The conferees thus expect the congressional defense committees to be notified, through the procedures established under this provision, of future losses of controlled information and will continue to exercise their oversight and legislative responsibilities to correct the failures evinced in this incident. Program to establish cyber institutes at institutions of higher learning (sec. 1640) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1637) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to establish a Cyber Institute at each of the senior military colleges. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1635) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to establish a Cyber Institute at any college or university that hosts a Reserve Officers' Training Corps program, with special consideration for the Senior Military Colleges. The House recedes. Matters pertaining to the SharkSeer cybersecurity program (sec. 1641) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1640A) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense committees a report that assesses the transition of the SharkSeer program from the National Security Agency (NSA) to the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1629) that would require the Secretary of Defense to transfer the SharkSeer cybersecurity program from the NSA to the DISA. In executing this transfer, the Secretary would be required to also transfer all funding and, as needed, personnel for the program. The provision would also: fence 10 percent of the funding available for obligation in fiscal year 2019 and subsequent years for NSA's Information Systems Security Program, PE 33140G, until the Principal Cyber Advisor certifies that the operations and maintenance funding for the SharkSeer program for fiscal year 2019 and the subsequent fiscal years of the current future years defense program are available or programmed; require the Secretary of Defense to adopt the SharkSeer “break and inspect” decryption capability as the Department’s enterprise solution for endpoint decryption; and authorize an increase of $20.0 million to the $790.2 million requested for the DISA in Procurement, Defense-wide, to increase the bandwidth of the SharkSeer system. The House recedes with an amendment that would: require the transfer of the operations and maintenance for the SharkSeer cybersecurity program from the NSA to the DISA, including any associated funding and, as necessary, personnel; require the Chief Information Officer to submit a report on such transfer, including a plan for continued partnership with the NSA in capability development; and strike the funding authorization. Active defense against the Russian Federation, People’s Republic of China, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and Islamic Republic of Iran attacks in cyberspace (sec. 1642) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1623) that would authorize the National Command Authority to direct the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, to take appropriate and proportional action through cyberspace to disrupt, defeat, and deter systematic and ongoing attacks by the Russian Federation in cyberspace. The provision would direct the Secretary of Defense, using the results of the surveillance conducted through CYBERCOM, also authorized in the provision, to work with social media companies on a voluntary basis to assist those companies in identifying accounts created by personnel and organizations engaged at the behest of or in support of the Russian Federation and that violate the companies' terms of service. The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec. 6601) that would amend section 1623 to narrow the authorization to only apply to foreign cyberspace. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would synthesize the two provisions, add authorizations for action against the People’s Republic of China, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, strike the explicit authorization of surveillance, and add a rule of construction governing the authorization. The conferees have been disappointed with the past responses of the executive branch to adversary cyberattacks and urge the President to respond to the continuous aggression that we see, for example, in Russia’s information operations against the United States and European allies in an attempt to undermine democracy. The administration’s passivity in combatting this campaign, as documented repeatedly in hearings before the congressional defense committees in the past 2 years, in the judgment of numerous executive branch officials, will encourage rather than dissuade additional aggression. The Congress has worked diligently to ensure that the Department possesses the necessary capabilities and authorities to combat, in particular, these Russian information operations, and this authorization represents further progress toward that objective. The conferees strongly encourage the President to defend the American people and institutions of government from foreign intervention. The conferees are also cognizant of the significant cyber threats posed by the People’s Republic of China, the Democratic Republic of Korea, and the Islamic Republic of Iran and urge the President to take action to disrupt, defeat, and deter the systematic cyber attacks. Designation of official for matters relating to integrating cybersecurity and industrial control systems within the Department of Defense (sec. 1643) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1625) that would require the Secretary of Defense to designate one official as responsible for the integration of cybersecurity and industrial control systems within the Department of Defense, to include the development of Department-wide standards for integration of industrial control systems and the potential applicability of frameworks set forth by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and similar organizations. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would clarify that the official would only be responsible for industrial control systems owned by the Department of Defense or operated on behalf of the Department of Defense. Assistance for small manufacturers in the defense industrial supply chain and universities on matters relating to cybersecurity (sec. 1644) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1626) that would require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Chief Information Officer and Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, to improve awareness of cybersecurity threats among small-and medium-sized manufacturers in the defense industrial supply chain, including via: the development of cybersecurity self-assessments to enhance firms' understanding of network vulnerabilities and the Department's cybersecurity standards; the transfer of appropriate cybersecurity technology and techniques developed in the Department of Defense to these businesses; and the establishment of a cyber counseling certification program. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Chief Information Officer and Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, to improve awareness of cybersecurity threats among universities, in addition to small-and medium-sized manufacturers, in the defense industrial supply chain and to establish a broader cybersecurity activity for the defense industrial base as needed. Email and Internet website security and authentication (sec. 1645) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1628) that would require the Secretary of Defense to implement the requirements of the Binding Operational Directive 18-01, issued by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security on October 16, 2017, unless the Secretary certifies that existing or planned security measures exceed the requirements of the directive. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate the specification of actions to be undertaken as part of the implementation of Binding Operational Directive 18-01 and would add the governmental affairs committees of the Senate and House of Representatives as recipients of the certification. The conferees note that Binding Operational Directive 1801 required the following actions, all accepted practices across the private and public sectors: (1) The adoption of the START Transport Layer Security protocol for encryption; (2) Enforcement of Sender Policy Framework, Domain Keys Identified Mail, and Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance for email authentication; and (3) Implementation of Hypertext Transfer Protocol Strict Transport Security. Security product integration framework (sec. 1646) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1631) that would require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Global Security, the Chief Information Officer, and the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, to select a network or network segment and associated computer network defense service provider to conduct a demonstration and evaluation of one or more existing security product integration frameworks, including through modification of network security systems to enable such systems to ingest, publish, subscribe, tip and cue, and request information or services from each other. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the findings. The conferees note that: (1) The Department of Defense requires a standard, enterprise-wide, security product integration framework that provides a machine-to-machine data exchange architecture and protocol to achieve interoperability and automated orchestration and coordinated action between and among cybersecurity services, devices, appliances, agents, applications, tools, and command and control centers; (2) Information security products and services need to be engineered to consume and act on information, direction, and cues from other security elements on a network through this framework; (3) A security product integration framework should ideally be nonproprietary or designed as a modular open system; and (4) A security integration framework is essential to achieve the speed, scale, and agility of response required for cyber warfare and to reduce the cost and time needed to integrate new products and services into the existing security environment. Information security continuous monitoring and cybersecurity scorecard (sec. 1647) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1633) that would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of funds for the Cybersecurity Scorecard after October 1, 2019, unless the Department of Defense is implementing by that date a funded program pursuant to section 1653 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to fulfill the requirements established by the Chief Information Officer and the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, in the Information Security Continuous Monitoring Strategy, Comply-toConnect Strategy, Enterprise Patch Management Service Strategy and Concept of Operations, and User Activity Monitoring Strategy. The provision would also require the Director of Cost and Program Evaluation to submit to the congressional defense committees a report comparing the Department’s requirements for information security continuous monitoring and the comply-toconnect capabilities deployed by the Department of Homeland Security and the General Services Administration. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would add a requirement for a review and validation of the Department of Defense’s current information security continuous monitoring requirements and policies to the report. Tier 1 exercise of support to civil authorities for a cyber incident (sec. 1648) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 6602) that would require the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, the Commander, U.S. Northern Command, and other commanders or components of the Department of Defense as the Secretary of Defense considers appropriate to conduct a tier 1 exercise of support to civil authorities for a cyber incident. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Pilot program on modeling and simulation in support of military homeland defense operations in connection with cyber attacks on critical infrastructure (sec. 1649) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1630) that would require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Global Security to carry out a pilot program on modeling and simulation in support of military homeland defense operations through U.S. Northern Command and U.S. Cyber Command. The pilot program would be based on the results and lessons learned from ongoing research exercises involving local government, industry, and military responses to combined natural disasters and cyber attacks on critical infrastructure. The provision would authorize $10.0 million for this pilot. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would generalize the program through adjustment to its scope, would eliminate its required execution through the combatant commands, and would eliminate the authorization. Pilot program authority to enhance cybersecurity and resiliency of critical infrastructure (sec. 1650) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1634) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of Homeland Security, to provide technical cyber personnel to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to enhance cooperation, collaboration, and unity in government efforts in support of the protection of critical infrastructure. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note the Department of Defense’s (DOD) ongoing efforts to coordinate with the DHS and expect to see such collaboration continue in the future. In particular, the conferees fully support cooperative strategy development and policy-making to ensure that the DOD and the DHS maintain complementary roles and responsibilities and pursue mutually beneficial policies in the realm of cybersecurity. Therefore, the conferees urge the DOD to place the personnel as part of this pilot program in: DHS’s Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans; the office of the Director, Strategy, Policy, and Plans in the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD); and the NPPD’s National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center. Pilot program on regional cybersecurity training center for the Army National Guard (sec. 1651) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1635) that would authorize the Secretary of the Army to carry out a pilot program to establish a National Guard cyber security training center for members of the Army National Guard for interagency and cross-society cyber education. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a technical amendment that establishes a sunset for the authorization. Cyberspace Solarium Commission (sec. 1652) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1634) that would establish the Cyberspace Solarium Commission, tasked with developing a strategic approach to protecting and advancing the United States' advantages in cyberspace. The Commission would weigh the benefits and costs of various strategic frameworks (e.g., deterrence, norms-based regimes, and cyber persistence), evaluate the sufficiency of the current allocation of resources in cyberspace, and consider potential realignments in governmental structure and authorities. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would adjust the scope of the Commission, tasking it with developing consensus on a strategic approach to defending the Nation in cyberspace against cyber attacks of significant consequences and making a series of technical changes regarding the structure, authorities, and limitations of the Commission. Study and report on reserve component cyber civil support teams (sec. 1653) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1638) that would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct a study on the feasibility and advisability of establishing cyber civil support teams comprising Reserve Component members, primarily operating under the command and control of the Governor of each State, to prepare for and respond to cyber incidents, cyber emergencies, and cyber attacks. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require additional considerations in the study. The conferees note that establishment of cyber civil support teams may have significant impacts on, or conflict with, current roles, responsibilities, policies, and resources of agencies and entities in cyberspace and seek greater clarity on these impacts. Identification of countries of concern regarding cybersecurity (sec. 1654) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1638) that would require the Secretary of Defense to create a prioritized list of countries of concern related to cybersecurity based on their governments' hostility, intelligence activity, criminal activity, and willingness and ability to disrupt the U.S. government's supply chain.

Mitigation of risks to national security posed by providers of information technology products and services who have obligations to foreign governments (sec. 1655) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1637) that would establish definitions for subsequent provisions relating to the establishment of a program to mitigate the risks derivative of foreign governments' code review of information technology products used by the Department of Defense. The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec. 1639) that would prohibit the Department of Defense's use of any information technology, cybersecurity, industrial control system, weapons system, or computer antivirus system unless the provider discloses to the Secretary of Defense: (1) whether it has allowed a foreign government to review or access a product custom-developed for the Department of Defense or is under any obligation to provide a foreign person or government with access or review of such a product; (2) whether it has allowed a government listed in the report required by section 1638 of the Senate amendment to review or access the source code of a product, system, or service that the Department is using or intends to use or is under any obligation to do so; and (3) whether it holds or has sought a license pursuant to the Export Administration Regulations under subchapter C of chapter VII of title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations under subchapter M of chapter I of title 22, Code of Federal Regulations, or successor regulations, for information technology products, components, software, or services. The Senate amendment contained another provision (sec. 1640) that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a registry containing the information on foreign governments required by section 1638 of the Senate amendment and on providers of information technology products and services required by section 1639 of the Senate amendment, to be made available to any agency conducting a procurement pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulations and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would: integrate the three provisions (sec. 1637, 1639, and 1640), make a series of technical changes surrounding the use of “non-commercial” vice “custom-developed”; limit the disclosure requirements to code-sharing or code-sharing agreements that occurred within 5 years prior to enactment; exempt products, services, and systems procured or acquired prior to enactment from the non-use requirement; exempt open-source software; and require the Secretary of Defense to issue regulations governing the implementation of this non-use. While the conferees believe that this provision is a necessary step toward minimizing the supply chain risk posed by companies like Kaspersky, the conferees urge the Secretary to take actions to minimize the potential injury of the non-use requirement, to both the Department and industry. The conferees recognize that, absent the required regulations, the non-use requirement is all-encompassing and thus encourage the Secretary to exempt from this requirement any product, system, or service if: (1) Its source code has been exported pursuant to a license or license exception granted under the Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. §§ 730774); (2) It is not itself, and is not a component of, a National Security System; (3) It is not a cybersecurity tool, system, or application or does not have a built-in cybersecurity tool, system, or application; or (4) It is subjected only to a de minimis disclosure under restricted access conditions, as defined by the Secretary. The conferees also urge the Secretary to exempt any further products, systems, and services and implement this provision so as to minimize supply chain risk and advance national security. The conferees also note that the information required to be disclosed to the Department in the provision is: (1) generally considered commercial information; (2) obtained from a person; and (3) most likely confidential. Therefore, the conferees expect that exemption 4 of section 552(b) of title 5 will likely apply to information obtained under this provision. Report on Cybersecurity Apprentice Program (sec. 1656) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1640B) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the feasibility of establishing a Cybersecurity Apprentice Program to support onthe-job training for certain cybersecurity positions and to facilitate the acquisition of cybersecurity certifications. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note the Department’s experimental use of recruitment, retention, and training techniques particular to cyber personnel, both civilians and servicemembers. The conferees, however, are also interested in the possibility of applying traditional on-the-job training, such as those that already exist in the Services’ “apprentice and journeymen” programs, throughout the Department for cyber jobs. The conferees see potential for apprentice programs for enlisted and civilian members of the Armed Forces as a means to improve operational capability. Report on enhancement of software security for critical systems (sec. 1657) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1632) that would require the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Global Security and the Chief Information Officer to conduct a technical and cost-benefit study of the merits of applying in the vulnerability assessments and remediation of critical systems fuzzing technology, formal programming, and the binary analysis and symbolic execution software security tools developed under the Cyber Grand Challenge program of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

The report would include an assessment of several matters, including risks, costs, and options for sustaining more than one supplier by leveraging various programs of the Department of Defense and the Federal Government. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove an interim briefing requirement in the House provision. The conferees expect the Under Secretary to leverage analysis done in support of the requirement contained in section 1695 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), which was due on March 1, 2018, and submit both reports promptly. The conferees also expect the Secretary of the Air Force to take into account the anticipated difference in life cycle cost for the ground-based strategic deterrent program when considering options for sustaining more than one supplier for large solid rocket motors, and inform the Congress of that cost difference appropriately. LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED Report on space debris The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1616) that would require the Secretary of Defense, not later than 240 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, to submit to the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Armed Services and Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate a report on the risks posed by manmade space debris in low-earth orbit.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that the administration decision to transfer the background investigation mission for the entire Federal Government introduces significantly increased risk for the Department of Defense. However, the conferees agree that for the sake of efficiency across the government, this decision is logical. The conferees expect that the Department will continue to pursue its focus on modernizing the background investigation function instead of taking over an existing and outdated process. The conferees are committed to continuing to monitor the Department's progress in taking over this new mission over the coming years. Establishment of Cybersecurity for Defense Industrial Base Manufacturing Activity The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1636) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to, in consultation with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, establish an activity to assess and strengthen the cybersecurity resiliency of the defense industrial base in the United States, including the development of cybersecurity test capabilities, development of training regimes, integration of defense industrial base cybersecurity into research and development roadmaps and threat assessments, and the dissemination of relevant capabilities to address threats to the defense industrial base.

TITLE XVII–REVIEW OF FOREIGN INVESTMENT AND EXPORT CONTROLS SUBTITLE A—COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN THE UNITED STATES Short title: Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (sec. 1701) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1701) that would establish the short title of this section as "The Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018." The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would establish "The Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018," the "Export Controls Act of 2018," and the "Anti-Boycott Act of 2018" in sections 1701-1793 of this Act. "The Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018" would make updates to terms in the current Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) statute and add several new terms. Notably, it would expand the purview of CFIUS by explicitly adding four new types of "covered transactions," including: (1) Any non-passive investment by a foreign person in any U.S. business involved in critical infrastructure, the production of critical technologies, or that maintains sensitive personal data that, if exploited, could threaten national security; (2) Any change in a foreign investor’s rights regarding a U.S. business; (3) Any other transaction, transfer, agreement or arrangement designed to circumvent or evade CFIUS; and (4) The purchase, lease, or concession by or to a foreign person of certain real estate in close proximity to military or other sensitive national security facilities. It would also require CFIUS to provide comments on or accept complete written notices within 10 business days of submission in cases where parties stipulate that a transaction is a covered transaction and allow CFIUS to require a written notice and include copies of all related agreements. Further, it would create the concept of declarations and allow the parties to a transaction to stipulate that it is a covered transaction or foreign government-controlled transaction. This Act would also confirm the circumstances under which CFIUS may unilaterally initiate a review, as well as how a transaction attains "safe harbor" status; give CFIUS extra time to review each transaction by extending the overall review period from 30 days to 45 days with a 15-day period extension for extraordinary circumstances; require CFIUS to establish a mechanism to identify any covered transactions for which a notice or declaration has not been filed and on which information is reasonably available; provide for greater flexibility regarding the required signatures on certifications regarding transactions; require the Director of National Intelligence, for each National Security Threat Assessment (NSTA), to identify any recognized intelligence collection gaps, update the NSTA upon request by a lead agency for any past cleared transaction involving a mitigation agreement, and submit the NSTA to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence after conclusion of action by CFIUS; enhance collaboration and coordination with U.S. allies and partners by allowing the disclosure of information to any domestic or foreign governmental entity; clarify the 15 day requirement for the President to announce a decision to not later than 15 days after the earlier of the date on which the investigation is completed, or the date on which the Committee otherwise refers the transaction to the President; provide that civil action challenges against CFIUS actions and findings may only be brought in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit; instruct CFIUS regulations to provide that any review of a covered transaction should consider the national security factors enumerated in statute, and as appropriate, require parties to provide information necessary to consider such factors; and require each CFIUS member to designate an Assistant Secretary, appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, or the equivalent thereof, to carry out Committee duties. To address national security risks, it would grant CFIUS the authority to suspend a transaction during a review or investigation; use mitigation agreements and conditions to address situations where the parties have chosen to abandon a transaction without a presidential order; and impose interim mitigation agreements and conditions for national security risks posed by completed transactions while they are undergoing CFIUS review. A modification of the annual report and other reporting requirements is also included along with a requirement for implementation plans within 180 days of enactment of this act with a determination by the President as to whether additional resources are required for CFIUS under the expansion of CFIUS' responsibilities in this Act. Finally, a CFIUS Fund would be established and $20.0 million would be authorized for fiscal years 2019 through 2023. The "Export Controls Act of 2019" would repeal the Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.) (as continued in effect pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)) other than sections 11A, 11B, and 11C of such Export Administration Act of 1979 (EAA), and would provide transition provisions to preserve the export control rules and regulations until changed or revoked under the new authority established by this title. It would also require the President to establish controls over the export of certain "dual-use" and military items in order to advance the foreign policy and national security of the United States, including a new category of "emerging and foundational technologies". The administration of those controls would be delegated to the Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, the Director of National Intelligence, and other appropriate Federal agencies. Subject to inter-agency review, the Department of Commerce would be delegated with authority to issue licenses and other authorization for exports. Consistent with existing law, this export control reform would provide the authority to impose criminal and civil penalties for export control violations. It also would provide robust authority to enforce such controls, including the ability to stop unapproved transfers. Congressional oversight would also be strengthened over these controls. The repeal of the EAA would include transition provisions to ensure that all rules, regulations, orders, determinations, licenses, or other administrative measures established under the EAA, or otherwise enforced through Presidential emergency declaration under IEEPA, would remain in effect unless changed or revoked under the new authority established by this title. The "Anti-Boycott Act of 2018" would incorporate longstanding current law anti-boycott provisions from the expired Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.) continued in effect under IEEPA. It would discourage, and in some circumstances, prohibit U.S. companies from furthering or supporting the boycott of Israel sponsored by the Arab League, or certain other countries, including complying with certain requests for information designed to verify compliance with the boycott.

DIVISION B—MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATIONS Summary and explanation of funding tables Division B of this Act authorizes funding for military construction projects of the Department of Defense. It includes funding authorizations for the construction and operation of military family housing as well as military construction for the reserve components, the defense agencies, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment Program. It also provides authorization for the base closure accounts that fund military construction, environmental cleanup, and other activities required to implement the decisions in base closure rounds. The tables contained in this Act provide the projectlevel authorizations for the military construction funding authorized in Division B of this Act and summarize that funding by account. The conferees continue to believe in the value and appropriateness of providing a full authorization but incremental authorization of appropriations for certain military construction projects. The conferees believe incremental funding of large and complex military construction projects enables the Department to execute additional infrastructure projects in a fiscal year, enables continuous congressional oversight, and provides opportunities to adjust the authorization of appropriations level for projects should issues arise or requirements change over the course of construction. In instances where the conference agreement provides full authorization but incremental authorization of appropriations for certain military construction projects, the committee expects the Department to award these projects in the year of authorization and not defer award until the full appropriation amount is received. Short title (sec. 2001) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 2001) that would cite division B of this Act as the ‘‘Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019’’.

The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would remove 30day notifications to Congress for foreign contributions. Notification regarding air release of radioactive or hazardous material at Hanford Nuclear Reservation (sec. 3115) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3121) that would require the Assistant Secretary of Energy for Environmental Management to promptly notify and provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees after a release of contamination resulting from defense waste at the Hanford Site. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the notification requirement to air releases of radioactive material or hazardous material released above statutory or regulatory limits and would clarify the notification timelines. Amendments to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (sec. 3116) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3113) that would permit the delegation of review under section 57b of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (Public Law 83-703), as amended (42 U.S.C. 2077(b)(2)), on a case-by-case basis as consistent with the national security interests of the United States. The provision would also require that, during a review under section 57b of title 42, United States Code, if such a request is denied, the Department of Energy be told the reasons for denial during interagency review or, if the review period is extended, the reason for this extension, to be reported to the congressional defense committees on an annual basis. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the subsection related to interagency consultations and clarify that authority regarding approval of technology transfers may not be delegated for technologies related to enrichment and reprocessing of special nuclear material nor for transfers of any technologies to any covered foreign country. The amendment would also clarify the reporting requirement relating to such delegations, remove the sense of the Senate on civil penalties for violations, and remove the requirement for the Secretary of Energy to revise regulations. The conferees agree that the Secretary of Energy has the authority to impose civil penalties for violations of section 57 b.(2) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42. U.S.C. 2077 (b(2)). Extension of enhanced procurement authority to manage supply chain risk (sec. 3117) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3113) that would extend the authority provided by section 2786 of title 50, United States Code, the authority for the Secretary of Energy to take certain actions with regard to the protection of the supply chain of the Department of Energy, for an additional 5 years, to June 30, 2023. The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3114) that would extend the same authority for an additional 6 years. The Senate recedes. Hanford waste tank cleanup program (sec. 3118) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3120B) that would extend the Office of River Protection until 2024. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes.

The provision would allow the Secretary to waive this requirement if the Secretary submits to the congressional defense committees the matters described under section 3121(b)(1) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91). The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3118) that would prohibit the Department of Energy from obligating or expending any funds for fiscal year 2019 or prior fiscal years to terminate construction and project support activities at the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility or to convert such facility to be used for any purpose other than its original mission. The Senate recedes. Plutonium pit production (sec. 3120) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3120A) that would require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a contract with a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) to conduct an assessment of the plutonium strategy of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). In addition, the provision would require the Secretary of Energy to submit to the congressional defense committees not later than 180 days from the date of enactment of this Act a report on the plan for producing plutonium pits 31–80 at Los Alamos National Laboratory, in case the MOX facility is not operational and producing pits by 2030. The provision would also require the Secretary of Energy to submit an updated Statement of Mission Need by September 2020. Finally, the provision would require the Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons Council to submit annually to the Secretary of Defense, the Administrator for Nuclear Security, and the congressional defense committees a written certification that the plutonium pit production plan of the NNSA is on track to meet the military requirement of 80 pits per year by 2030, the statutory requirements for pit production timelines under section 4219 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2538a), and milestones for implementation of the NNSA’s plutonium strategy. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with amendments that would require the Secretary of Defense to consult with the Administrator for Nuclear Security in entering into the contract with the FFRDC and would modify the elements of the assessment. The amendments would also require that the FFRDC have full and direct access to all information related to pit production from the NNSA and from its management and operating contractors. The amendments would further modify the report regarding plutonium pit production at Los Alamos to require the Administrator for Nuclear Security to write the report and to require additional details on the plan to produce 30 pits per year by 2026. Finally, the amendments would strike the requirement to submit an updated Statement of Mission Need and add a requirement that the NNSA Director for Cost Estimation and Program Evaluation submit to the congressional defense committees an assessment of the NNSA report on pit production at Los Alamos, including an assessment of the impact of increased ARIES activity in support of the dilute and dispose program on the plutonium pit production mission. The conferees note that the Senate report accompanying S. 2987 (S. Rept. 115-262) of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 required a similar FFRDC assessment. The conferees intend for the requirement in this provision to replace the requirement in the Senate report rather than create a new requirement for another assessment. Finally, the conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United States to review the report required by subsection (c)(2) of this provision, specifically the assessment of the effect of increased ARIES activity on the plutonium pit production mission. The Comptroller General shall provide a briefing on this assessment to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, with the scope of the assessment and the date of the briefing to be determined in consultation with the committees. Pilot program on conduct by Department of Energy of background reviews for access by certain individuals to national security laboratories (sec. 3121) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3115) that would establish a pilot program for 2 years at the Department of Energy to independently conduct background reviews prior to admitting to national security laboratories citizens of nations on the current sensitive countries list. The provision would require the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Director of National Intelligence to continue to conduct background reviews under section 4502(a) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2652(a)) for the duration of the pilot program. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Prohibition on availability of funds for programs in Russian Federation (sec. 3122) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3116) that would prohibit obligation or expenditure of any funds for fiscal year 2019 for atomic energy defense activities to enter into a contract with, or otherwise provide assistance to, the Russian Federation. The provision would also provide for a waiver and would not apply to up to $3.0 million that the Secretary of Energy may make available for the Department of Energy's Russian Health Studies Program. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Prohibition on availability of funds for research and development of advanced naval nuclear fuel system based on lowenriched uranium (sec. 3123) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3117) that would prohibit the authorization or expenditure of any funds for fiscal year 2019 for the Department of Energy or the Department of Defense for research and development of an advanced naval nuclear fuel system based on low-enriched uranium (LEU). The provision contains an exception that would authorize, from within amounts made available for fiscal year 2019 for defense nuclear nonproliferation, $10.0 million to be made available to the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors for LEU activities. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note that both Departments’ expertise in naval fuel requirements and design resides within the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. The conferees believe that funds authorized and appropriated for the purposes of research and design into the use of LEU in naval reactors are best spent in support of Naval Reactors’ activities at the Naval Nuclear Laboratory. Limitation on availability of funds relating to submission of annual reports on unfunded priorities (sec. 3124) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3118) that would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of funds authorized to be appropriated from the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Federal Salaries and Expenses account for travel and transportation of persons until the Administrator for Nuclear Security submits a report that contains at least one unfunded priority under section 4716 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2756). This provision would apply to each year from fiscal years 2020 through 2024. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the prohibition such that not more than 65 percent of funds may be obligated or expended from this account until the report described above is submitted. SUBTITLE C—PLANS AND REPORTS Modifications to cost-benefit analyses for competition of management and operating contracts (sec. 3131) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3121) that would modify the requirement for the Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to provide a report to the congressional defense committees containing a cost-benefit analysis of competition of management and operating contracts for NNSA laboratories and production plants following each award of such a contract such that the report would be due 30 days after the transition to a new contract is complete. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with amendments that would extend the requirement through 2022 and add a requirement for the Administrator to provide a briefing no later than 7 days after the release of a request for proposal for any contract to manage and operate an NNSA facility. This briefing would provide a preliminary estimate of the costs and benefits of competing such contract. The amendment would also make a technical change that would transfer the entire requirement from the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) into title 50 of United States Code. Nuclear forensics analyses (sec. 3132) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3120) that would require the Secretary of Energy, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security, to seek to enter into an agreement with the National Academy of Sciences for an independent assessment of nuclear forensic analyses conducted by the Federal Government.

Review of defense environmental cleanup activities (sec. 3133) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3122) that would require the Secretary of Energy to coordinate with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on a review of the cleanup activities in the Office of Environmental Management. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment to include recommendations in the assessment that would enhance effectiveness and efficiency within the program. Whistleblower protections (sec. 3134) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3132) that would contain findings and express the sense of Congress regarding nuclear safety and require the Secretary of Energy to impose civil penalties on contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers for violations of Department of Energy rules, regulations, and orders relating to nuclear safety and radiation protection. The provision would also require the Secretary to define, within 120 days of enactment of this Act, what constitutes evidence of a chilled work environment with respect to employees and contractors making a whistleblower complaint and would require an annual congressional notification on the imposition of any penalties related to violations of rules, regulations, and orders by contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with amendments that would strike the findings, strike the requirement to impose civil penalties as the Secretary or the Administrator determines appropriate and instead add it to the sense of Congress, and clarify the reporting requirement related to a chilled work environment. Implementation of Nuclear Posture Review by National Nuclear Security Administration (sec. 3135) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3125) that would require the Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the implementation of the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) by the NNSA.

The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would require the report to include the estimated cost of an action when available. Survey of workforce of national security laboratories and nuclear weapons production facilities (sec. 3136) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3123) that would require the Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to submit to the congressional defense committees a proposal to conduct a survey, similar to the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, of the employees of the NNSA laboratories and production plants. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would add a requirement for the Administrator to consider in her report the value of the survey in light of other tools for gathering similar data on workforce issues in order to avoid unnecessary duplication. Elimination of certain reports (sec. 3137) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3124) that would eliminate certain reporting requirements for the Department of Energy's Environmental Management Office. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment to preserve the future-years defense environmental management plan and to keep the certification requirements for waste shipments to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant until fiscal year 2019. SUBTITLE D—OTHER MATTERS Acceleration of replacement of cesium blood irradiation sources (sec. 3141) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3119) that would require the Administrator for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to ensure that the goal of the Cesium Irradiator Replacement Program and the Offsite Source Recovery Program is the elimination of the use in the United States of blood irradiation devices that rely on cesium chloride by December 31, 2027. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the Administrator for NNSA to identify in a reporting requirement the disposal pathway for cesium chloride sources. Sense of Congress regarding compensation of individuals relating to uranium mining and nuclear testing (sec. 3142) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3122) that would state the sense of Congress that the United States should compensate and recognize all of the miners, workers, downwinders, and others suffering from the effects of uranium mining and nuclear testing carried out during the Cold War. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make a series of related findings regarding the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (Public Law 101-426) and the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-398). The amendment would also acknowledge that, as of the date of enactment of this Act, more than 150,231 claims have been paid out for a total of $17.4 billion in lump sum compensation and medical expenses under these two Acts. LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED Security clearance for dual nationals employed by National Nuclear Security Agency The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3111) that would authorize the Secretary of Energy to apply additional security reviews to dual citizens seeking positions that require access to highly classified information. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees expect an appropriate level of vetting of all personnel with access to classified information, and encourage the Secretary to pay particular attention to the vetting of dual nationals. Manufacturing Trades Education Grant Program The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3120C) that would authorize the Secretary of Energy to establish the Manufacturing Trades Education Grant Program. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees recognize the importance of technical skills-based training, including apprenticeship and preapprenticeship programs, and supports efforts to strengthen these programs. The conferees encourage further work with the Secretary of Energy on these efforts, and encourage the Secretary to continue to use such programs to further the missions of the Department of Energy and National Nuclear Security Administration. Clarification of roles and authorities of National Nuclear Security Administration The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3111) that would clarify the roles and authorities of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) through a series of amendments to the National Nuclear Security Administration Act (50 U.S.C Ch. 41) and the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. Ch. 42). The provision would also make several technical corrections to the Atomic Energy Defense Act and remove the cap imposed on the number of full-time equivalent federal employees at the NNSA by section 3241A of the NNSA Act (50 U.S.C. 2441a). The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note that similar legislation was considered in the course of the drafting of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239). The statement of managers accompanying that Act noted that there was “widespread recognition that the current system for governance, management, and oversight of the nuclear security enterprise is broken.” The same statement noted similar conclusions made by the 2009 Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States and several other bipartisan or nonpartisan organizations. Additional studies and commissions have agreed in the years since. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 also created a bipartisan advisory commission to provide “actionable recommendations that directly address the host of systemic problems identified by previous studies and by the conferees,” later known as the Augustine-Mies Panel. In 2014, this panel recommended a sweeping series of major changes at NNSA and the Department of Energy more broadly, including renaming the Department to be the “Department of Energy and Nuclear Security,” more fully integrating the NNSA into the Department, elevating the NNSA Administrator to the level of Deputy Secretary, and other actions to address deep-rooted cultural problems. The conferees note that a lack of consensus among the Department and the many congressional committees of jurisdiction prevented most of the major recommendations from being implemented, while others have languished in the bureaucracy or have been implemented without sufficient efforts to measure success. The conferees appreciate the work of the ongoing joint National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAS) and National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) panel created by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) to assess the NNSA’s and the Department’s progress in implementing prior recommendations, and note that the panel’s most recent interim report concludes that activities to implement prior reform recommendations have not been “rooted in an adequate foundation of strategic thinking.” The conferees note that the Augustine-Mies Panel concluded that, if “significant progress [was] not made within the next two years,” the “only remaining course of action—and a clearly inferior one—is to remove [NNSA] from what is now the Department of Energy and establish it as an autonomous, independent organization.” The conferees note that almost 4 years have elapsed since the Augustine-Mies Panel made its recommendations, and almost 6 years have elapsed since the 2013 statement of managers described the nuclear security enterprise as “broken.” While disagreement remains with some of the specific conclusions of the panel, the conferees have not witnessed significant progress—only “changes on the margins,” as anticipated by the 2013 conferees. Continued cost overruns on major projects, critical capital acquisition decisions mired in dispute, ongoing safety and security concerns, and delayed infrastructure modernization projects indicate that significant progress has not been made. The conferees expect that the joint NAS/NAPA panel will conclude its work in 2020. Rather than allowing the panel’s reports and recommendations to languish along with over two decades of studies and commissions on this subject, the conferees believe that, at that time, the appropriate committees must work with the Department and the NNSA to consider major reforms to the governance of the nuclear security enterprise, but stress that a return to previous, failed models of organization and management are unlikely to be an acceptable option. Finally, the conferees also note that a significant recommendation of the Augustine-Mies Panel was to “solidify Cabinet Secretary ownership of the mission” of the NNSA. As long as the NNSA remains part of the Department of Energy under the current construct of the NNSA Act, the conferees expect appropriate levels of engagement by the Secretary of Energy, the Deputy Secretary of Energy, and the Administrator for Nuclear Security with the committees of jurisdiction on priority atomic energy defense programs to ensure that the NNSA meets the military requirements set by the Department of Defense while making efficient and responsible use of taxpayer dollars. National Nuclear Security Administration Personnel System The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 3112) that would make permanent the personnel demonstration project carried out by the National Nuclear Security Administration since 2008. The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Assessment regarding eligibility for compensation for compensable diseases under Radiation Exposure Compensation Act The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1087) that would require the National Cancer Institute and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to assess the application of probability of causation/assigned share (PC/AS) to determine eligibility for compensation for compensable diseases under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees direct the Attorney General, not later than 120 days after the enactment of this Act, to submit a report to Congress on the feasibility and advisability of the application of PC/AS to determine eligibility for compensation for compensable diseases under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. Additional amounts for inertial confinement fusion and high yield program The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 7101) that would authorize $100.0 million in additional funds for the Department of Energy’s initial confinement fusion and high yield program. The House bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. TITLE XXXII—DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES SAFETY BOARD Authorization (sec. 3201) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3201) that would authorize funding for the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board at $31.2 million, consistent with the budget request.

TITLE XXXIV–NAVAL PETROLEUM RESERVES Authorization of appropriations (sec. 3401) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3401) that would authorize funds for the purpose of carrying out activities under chapter 641 of title 10, United States Code, relating to the naval petroleum reserves. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. TITLE XXXV—MARITIME MATTERS SUBTITLE A—MARITIME ADMINISTRATION Authorization of the Maritime Administration (sec. 3501) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3501) that would authorize appropriations of the Department of Transportation for fiscal year 2019 for programs associated with maintaining the United States merchant marine, including authorizations for: the United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA); State maritime academies; National Security MultiMission Vessel; Maritime Administration (MARAD) operations and programs; disposal of vessels in the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF); Title XI loan program; and Small Shipyards Grant program. The Senate amendment contained similar provisions (sec. 3501, 7501, and 7502) that would authorize appropriations for most of the same programs at, generally, different authorization levels. The Senate amendment would also include a set-aside for port infrastructure development within MARAD operations and programs. The Senate amendment would also require a report on the status of unexpended appropriations for capital asset management at the USMMA, and the plan for expending such appropriations. The House recedes with an amendment that would adopt Senate authorization levels for: State maritime academies, the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel program; and MARAD operations and programs. It would adopt the Senate provisions on port infrastructure development and the capital assessment management program report. It would adopt House authorization levels on the USMMA, and it would reiterate the authorization of the Small Shipyards Grant program in a manner similar to the House bill. It would set a compromise authorization level on disposal of vessels in the NDRF. Compliance by Ready Reserve Fleet vessels with SOLAS lifeboats and fire suppression requirements (sec. 3502) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3502) that would require the Secretary of Defense to incorporate lifeboat and fire suppression standards associated with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea for Ready Reserve Fleet vessels that are planned to be retained by the Secretary beyond October 1, 2026. The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Maritime Administration National Security Multi-Mission Vessel Program (sec. 3503) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3503) that would limit the Maritime Administration from procuring used training vessels for the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel Program. Nothing in this provision would apply to the procurement of a used vessel, including a used vessel intended for State maritime academy training, that is not a national security multi-mission vessel under section 3505 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114328). The Senate amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Permanent authority of Secretary of Transportation to issue vessel war risk insurance (sec. 3504) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3504) that would amend chapter 539 of title 46, United States Code, to make permanent the authority of the Secretary of Transportation to provide vessel war risk insurance. The Senate amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 7515). The conference agreement includes this provision. Use of State maritime academy training vessels (sec. 3505) The House bill contained a provision (sec. 3505) that would require the Secretary, acting through the Maritime Administrator and in consultation with the State maritime academies (SMAs), to implement a program of vessel capacity sharing among the SMAs as necessary to ensure that training needs of each academy are met. The Senate amendment contained a similar provision, which would, among other differences with the House bill, clarify that the program shall be implemented upon consultation with the maritime academies and to the extent feasible with the consent of the maritime academies. The House recedes with an amendment that would, subject to the availability of appropriations, authorize the Maritime Administrator to provide additional funding to the SMAs during periods of limited training vessel capacity, for costs associated with training vessel sharing. Concurrent jurisdiction (sec. 3506) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 7503) that would allow the Secretary of Transportation to relinquish, at the Secretary’s discretion, certain jurisdiction over the United States Merchant Marine Academy to local law enforcement, as necessary, to enable concurrent jurisdiction with the State of New York. The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes.
