JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF
CONFERENCE
The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the
conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the
amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 5515), to authorize
appropriations for fiscal year 2019 for military activities of the
Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense
activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe military personnel
strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes, submit the
following joint statement to the House and the Senate in explanation of
the effect of the action agreed upon by the managers and recommended
in the accompanying conference report:
The Senate amendment struck all of the House bill after the enacting
clause and inserted a substitute text.
The House recedes from its disagreement to the amendment of the
Senate with an amendment that is a substitute for the House bill and the
Senate amendment. The differences between the House bill, the Senate
amendment, and the substitute agreed to in conference are noted below,
except for clerical corrections, conforming changes made necessary by
agreements reached by the conferees, and minor drafting and clarifying
changes.

 Compliance with rules of the House of Representatives and Senate
regarding earmarks and congressionally directed spending items
Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House
of Representatives and Rule XLIV(3) of the Standing Rules of the
Senate, neither this conference report nor the accompanying
joint statement of managers contains any congressional earmarks,
congressionally directed spending items, limited tax benefits,
or limited tariff benefits, as defined in such rules.
Summary of discretionary authorizations and budget authority
implication
The budget request for national defense discretionary
programs within the jurisdiction of the Committees on Armed
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives for
fiscal year 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.
Multiyear procurement authority for standard missile–6 (sec.
124)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 125) that would
authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into one or more
multiyear contracts for 625 Standard Missile–6 missiles

 beginning in fiscal year 2019, in accordance with section 2306b
of title 10, United States Code.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
125) that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter
into multiyear contracts beginning in fiscal year 2019 for the
procurement of 625 Standard Missile–6 guided missiles pending
the Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation
confirmation of the Secretary of the Navy’s preliminary findings
as required in subsection a of section 2306b of title 10, United
States Code.
The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

Modifications to F/A–18 aircraft to mitigate physiological
episodes (sec. 127)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 128) that would
require the Secretary of the Navy to modify F/A-18 aircraft to
reduce the occurrence of, and mitigate the risk posed by,
physiological episodes affecting F/A-18 crewmembers.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would eliminate
the requirement for the installation of an automatic ground
collision avoidance system.
The conferees expect EA-18G aircraft to also receive the
modifications required in this provision.
Frigate class ship program (sec. 128)

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 129) that would
require, as part of the solicitation for proposals for the
procurement of any frigate class ship, that the Secretary of the
Navy require offerors to submit proposals that provide for
conveying technical data to the government. Additionally, this
provision would require the Secretary of the Navy to ensure that
the government’s technical data rights are sufficient to allow
for specified follow-on activities.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the
requirement for the Secretary of the Navy to ensure that the
government’s technical data rights are sufficient to allow for
specified follow-on activities and clarify the conditions under
which technical data shall be provided to the government.
The conferees' intent is to obtain sufficient technical
data to ensure the Navy has the option to compete the winning
frigate design in the future for production by at least one
additional shipbuilder, if the Navy’s inventory objective for
FFG(X)-class ships merits such expansion. The conferees note
that the benefits of two shipbuilders building the same ship
design have been demonstrated in both the DDG-51 and CG-47
classes. The conferees do not intend for the winning frigate
offeror to provide technical data beyond what is needed for a
single-design, multiple-shipbuilder frigate acquisition strategy
or otherwise authorized by law.
Contract requirement for Virginia class submarine program (sec.
129)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 130) that would
modify section 124 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) to prohibit the Secretary
of the Navy from entering into economic order quantity contracts
for the Virginia-class submarine program until the Secretary
certifies that such funding shall be used to enter into economic
order quantities for 12 Virginia-class submarines.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of the Navy to ensure that an option to procure
one additional Virginia-class submarine in each of fiscal years
2022 and 2023 is included in the associated multiyear
procurement contract award planned for fiscal year 2019.
Prohibition on availability of funds for Navy port waterborne
security barriers (sec. 130)

would extend to include fiscal year 2019 in the prohibition on
funds from being used to enter into, or prepare to enter into,
sole source contracts for one or more Joint High Speed Vessels
or Expeditionary Fast Transports, unless the Secretary of the
Navy submits to the congressional defense committees a
certification and a report.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Limitation on availability of funds for M27 Infantry Automatic
Rifle program (sec. 132)

percent of the funds for the Marine Corps M27 Infantry Automatic
Rifle program until a report is submitted to the congressional
defense committees on the service’s assessment of the Army’s
Small Arms Ammunition Configuration study and the service’s
near- and long-term small arms modernization strategy.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Report on degaussing standards for DDG–51 destroyers (sec. 133)

and require the Secretary of the Air Force to provide to the
congressional defense committees periodic reports on the EC-130H
Compass Call Recapitalization program and opportunities to
accelerate the program.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate
the required reports.
The conferees expect to be regularly updated on the status
and progress of the Compass Call Recapitalization program. The

prepare to retire, any E-8 JSTARS aircraft.
The House recedes with an amendment that would limit
retirement of legacy E-8C until Increment 2 of the Advanced
Battle-Management System of the Air Force declares Initial
Operational Capability. The amendment would also require the
Secretary of Defense to certify that the Secretary of the Air
Force is: taking all reasonable steps to ensure the legacy E-8C
continues to meet all safety of flight requirements and that the
Air Force is taking steps to increase the legacy JSTARS fleet’s
aircraft availability and capacity provided to combatant
commanders. The amendment would also require reports be
submitted to the congressional defense committees by the
Secretary of the Air Force on the legacy E-8C fleet and by the
Comptroller General of the United States on ABMS.
Finally, the conferees direct the Director, Cost
Assessment and Program Evaluation, Office of the Secretary of
Defense, to provide the congressional defense committees a
report no later than February 5, 2019, on a cost, schedule, and
implementation plan for restarting the dormant legacy E-8C reengining program that the Air Force originally initiated in
2007. The conferees understand the Secretary of the Air Force
procured three ship-sets of engines, after investing $450.0
million, and the engines remain unused. The conferees note that
the legacy E-8C engines are the number one issue driving
excessive non-mission capable maintenance metrics for the E-8C
fleet.

on B-52 modernization in February 2018. However, that report did
not include elements that the conferees believe to be important
considerations, particularly in light of the Air Force’s
decision to continue operating the B-52 for the long-term. Such
considerations include secure, jam-resistant communications,
future weapons and targeting capabilities, and mission planning
systems.

 SUBTITLE E—DEFENSE-WIDE, JOINT, AND
MULTISERVICE MATTERS

The conferees note that section 207 of the Coast Guard
Authorization Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-120) provided
authority for the Commandant of the Coast Guard to enter into a
contract or contracts for the acquisition of polar icebreakers
and associated equipment using incremental funding. The
conferees further note the Fiscal Years 2019 through 2023 Future
Years Homeland Security Program includes $1.8 billion to fully
fund 3 icebreakers. The conferees understand that additional
Department of Defense funds are not required to procure
icebreakers for the foreseeable future. The conferees support

The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
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). The conferees
believe these efforts can be better leveraged to provide whole
of government solutions to a rapidly evolving global security
environment.
The conferees also note that the process for funding the
execution of military information support and civil affairs
activities often does not align with operational timelines or
involves fiscal authorities that are misaligned to the purpose
of the activity. 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

to existing authorities that would help to facilitate the
execution of civil affairs and military information support
activities and the integration of such activities with other
complementary efforts by the State Department and USAID;
(3) Recommendations for new authorities or modifications
to existing authorities that would help to improve the
utilization of reserve component civil affairs and military
information support personnel to augment special operations
forces; and
(4) Any other matters deemed relevant by the Assistant
Secretary.

purposes of pilot safety.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note the valuable contributions to morale
and public relations made by the Department of Defense’s fixedwing aviation demonstration teams, including the Blue Angels and

provides a comparison with maternal (pregnancy-related) and
infant mortality rates in the United States. The report should
include recommendations for decreasing those rates throughout
the MHS.

 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

amend section 1552(a)(5) of title 10, United States Code, to
require the Secretary of Defense to publish an indexed summary
of each Board for Correction of Military Records decision.
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.

56(b)(1) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice), to require a
minimum confinement period of 2 years for individuals convicted
of certain sex-related offenses.

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.

payment of tuition for off-duty training or education for
commissioned officers of the Armed Forces with any other service
obligations
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 551) that
would amend section 2007(b) of title 10, United States Code, to

 require an Active-Duty service obligation incurred by an officer
for the acceptance of tuition assistance for off-duty training
or education be served sequentially with any other service
obligation already incurred by the officer.
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

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.

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

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

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

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

for the elementary or secondary education of the dependents of
retirees residing on a military installation if the Secretary
determines that appropriate educational programs are not
available through a local educational agency.
The Senate contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Limitations on authority to revoke certain military decorations
awarded to members of the Armed Forces
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 571) that would
amend chapters 357, 567, and 857 of title 10, United States
Code, to add a new section that would restrict the President and

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.

The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.

sexually, or emotionally abusing a child
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 593) that would

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,

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.

information needed to complete training in a manner that is cost
efficient.
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

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.
The Senate amendment contained another similar provision
(sec. 632) that would amend section 474(d)(3) of title 37,
United States Code, to prohibit the Department of Defense from

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.

Code, by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2008 (Public Law 110-181). Additionally, this section would

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

veterans with service-connected disabilities rated as total
(sec. 624)

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

analysis.

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

exchanges
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 627) that would
require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report regarding
management of military commissaries and exchanges to the
congressional defense committees within 180 days of the date of
the enactment of this Act.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Access for veterans to certain fitness centers
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 628) that would
amend Chapter 152 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize
the service secretaries to grant veterans access to a fitness
center within their jurisdiction under certain conditions
prescribed in the provision.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.

TITLE VII—HEALTH CARE PROVISIONS

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.

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. Under this provision, the pilot program would be
carried out through partnerships with public, private, and nonprofit health care organizations, universities, or institutions
that: 1) Provide health care to members of the Armed Forces; 2)
Provide evidence-based treatment for psychological and
neurological conditions common to members of the Armed Forces;

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.

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.

portals (sec. 838)

 The House bill contained a provision (sec. 834) that would
amend section 846 of the National Defense Authorization Act 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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.

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1046) that
would require the Secretary of Defense to establish and
implement a foreign ownership, control, or influence program for
Department of Defense controlled unclassified information in the
hands of industry. The Secretary would be required to act to
ensure that prior to any company receiving controlled
unclassified information or classified information, or becoming
a cleared defense contractor, the company would have to report
to the Secretary any foreign direction or controlling interest
in the company or any access to intellectual property relating
to classified information or controlled unclassified
information. The Secretary would also be required to make a
determination on the basis of such a company's report whether

 the company should receive such information due to a risk to
national security and whether such risk can be mitigated.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense to establish and implement a pilot
program for oversight of designated Department of Defense
controlled unclassified information in the hands of defense
contractors with foreign ownership, control, or influence
concerns. The conferees are aware that foreign intelligence
services are aggressively targeting defense contractors to
obtain both classified and unclassified defense information.
The conferees expect the department to apply appropriate
protections to both classified and controlled unclassified

would require the establishment of an independent Commission to
review advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning
with national security implications.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
The conferees note the importance of maintaining a
technological advantage in artificial intelligence and
associated technologies related to national security and
defense. While technological developments in these areas are
critical, it is also vital to assess the implications of the
incorporation of artificial intelligence into future defense
applications and the risks associated with foreign adversary
advances in military employment of artificial intelligence and
machine learning, including international law of armed conflict,
humanitarian law, ethical guidelines, and escalation dynamics.

of the Department of Defense (DOD), and to submit that plan in
the form of a report. It would also require a briefing on
essential topics and functions of the Department’s JEMSO
enterprise.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1032) that would establish a senior designated official and an
associated cross-functional team to update DOD’s June 2017
Electronic Warfare strategy and submit it, along with a road map
of the referenced requirements and plans. The road map would
include: (1) The efforts undertaken in support of the 2017 DOD

strategy since its issuance; (2) A review of the vulnerabilities
identified in the May 2015 Electronic Warfare assessment; (3) An
assessment of the capability of the joint force to conduct joint
electromagnetic spectrum operations against peer competitors;
and (4) A description of actions, performance metrics, projected
timelines for achieving key capabilities for electronic warfare
and joint electromagnetic spectrum operations.
The House recedes with an amendment that would modify the
roles and responsibilities of the senior designated official. It
would also update the reporting requirements to include an
assessment of the electronic warfare capabilities of Russia and
China, a review of U.S. vulnerabilities with respect to
electronic systems, and a study of the manner in which Russia
and China develop electronic warfare doctrine. The amendment
would also strengthen the capacity of the senior designated
official and the Electronic Warfare Executive Committee to
propose governance, management, organizational, and operational
reforms to the Secretary of Defense.
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
personnel information should include officers, enlisted members,
and civilian personnel, set forth separately by career field
designator and rank for each military service, combatant
command, and defense agency. It should also include a comparison
of commissioned officer promotion rates, by grade, as compared

 to the average promotion rates for commissioned officers, by
grade, in each military service, over the five most recent
promotion cycles that have been completed since the end of
fiscal year 2018.

SUBTITLE E—STUDIES AND REPORTS
Annual reports by the Armed Forces on Out-Year Unconstrained
Total Munitions Requirements and Out-Year inventory numbers
(sec. 1061)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1042)
that would amend title 10 to require the Services provide an
annual report to the Congress detailing the Armed Forces’ annual
total munitions requirements and out-year munitions inventory
numbers. 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.
Comprehensive review of professionalism and ethics programs for
special operations forces (sec. 1066)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1055) that
would direct the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the
Secretaries of the military departments, to conduct a
comprehensive review of the ethics and professionalism programs
of the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and the military
departments for officers and other military personnel serving in
special operations forces. This section would require the
Secretary of Defense to submit the review to the Committees on
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by
March 1, 2019.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the Secretary of Defense to conduct a comprehensive review of
the ethics programs and professionalism programs of SOCOM and of
the military departments for officers and other military
personnel serving in special operations forces and submit the
review to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the
House of Representatives by March 1, 2019.
Munitions assessments and future-years defense program
requirements (sec. 1067)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1056) that
would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and
Sustainment to provide all relevant documents related to the
Department of Defense’s munitions requirements process, as well
as provide the planned funding and munitions requirements
required for fiscal year 2020 and across the Future Years
Defense Program for munitions across all military services and
the Missile Defense Agency. This section would also require the
Under Secretary to evaluate and identify supply chain risks,

 including qualified supplier shortages or single source supplier
vulnerabilities for munitions production.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.

Report on establishment of Army Futures Command (sec. 1068)

possession would have concurrent jurisdiction over offenses
committed on these military installations. Not later than 15

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

 Limitation on availability of funds relating to implementation
of the Open Skies Treaty (sec. 1242)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1232) that
would prohibit obligation or expenditure of certain funds for
fiscal year 2019 to modify any U.S. aircraft for the purposes of
implementing the Open Skies Treaty until the President certifies
that the United States has imposed legal countermeasures on the
Russian Federation for its violation of that treaty. The
provision would also prohibit the obligation or expenditure of
any funds for fiscal year 2019 to vote to approve any
implementing decision of the Open Skies Consultative Commission
(OSCC) (pursuant to Article X of the treaty) that certifies
infra-red or synthetic aperture radar sensors for any state
party until a series of reports and certifications are met
regarding U.S. Open Skies Treaty policy and Russian aggression,
malign influence, and treaty violations. 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 conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in
consultation with the Secretary of the Air Force, to submit a
report to the congressional defense committees no later than
January 31, 2019, on the Department of the Air Force’s RC-135,
WC-135, TC-135, and OC-135 aircraft fleets. The report should
address issues for each aircraft fleet regarding airworthiness,
safety of flight, aircraft availability and mission capability
rates, sustainment, maintenance, and reliability. 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

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

amendment.

strengthen and enhance its major defense partnership with India

 and such a partnership should enable strategic, operational, and
tactical coordination between our militaries and be jointly
developed between the countries. The conferees also believe that
the United States should work toward mutual security objectives
by: (1) expanding engagement in multilateral frameworks,
including the Quadrilateral Dialogue between the United States,
India, Japan, and Australia, to promote regional security and
defend shared values and common interests in the rules-based

 time as the Secretary of Defense submits to the appropriate
congressional committees a plan to remove the Government of the
Republic of Turkey from participation in the F-35 program, to
include industrial and military aspects of the program.
The Senate amendment also contained a related provision
(sec. 6204) that would clarify that the limitation on the
transfer of F-35 aircraft to Turkey in section 1269 of the
Senate amendment shall apply to the transfer or delivery of that
aircraft to Turkey rather than to the transfer of title for that
aircraft to Turkey.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would strike
section 6204 of the Senate amendment, strike elements of the
section 1269 of the Senate amendment related to the F-35
program, and express the sense of the Congress that (1) the
Government of the Republic of Turkey continues to unlawfully and
wrongfully detain United States citizens, including Andrew
Brunson and Serkan Golge, as well as staff of United States
missions in Turkey; and (2)consistent with its obligations under
the North Atlantic Treaty, which commits NATO allies to
safeguard “the principles of democracy, individual liberty and
the rule of law,” the Government of the Republic of Turkey
should immediately release all United States citizens that have
been wrongfully detained and resolve such cases in a timely,
fair, and transparent manner.
The conferees note that an assessment of a significant
change in Turkish participation in the F-35 program, including a
reduction or elimination of such participation, as well as a
limitation on the delivery of F-35 aircraft to the Republic of
Turkey, are addressed elsewhere in this report.
Technical amendments related to NATO Support and Procurement
Organization and related NATO agreements (sec. 1279)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1278) that
would amend section 2350d of title 10, United States Code, to
update the statutory reference to reflect a reorganization of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) with respect to
the elimination of the NATO Support Organization and the
establishment of the NATO Support and Procurement Organization.
The provision would also amend section 2350d to reflect that
NATO supply and logistics support activities may extend to NATO
operations outside of Europe.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1236).
The House recedes.

 Report on permanent stationing of United States forces in the
Republic of Poland (sec. 1280)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1254)
that would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination
with the Secretary of State, to submit to the congressional
defense committees a report on the feasibility and advisability
of permanently stationing United States forces in the Republic
of Poland. Specifically, the provision would require an
assessment of the types of permanently stationed United States
forces in Poland required to deter aggression by the Russian
Federation and execute Department of Defense contingency plans,
including combat enabler units. The provision would also require
a detailed assessment of the feasibility and advisability of
permanently stationing a United States Army brigade combat team
in Poland.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes.
Report on strengthening NATO cyber defense (sec. 1281)

that would express the sense of the Senate regarding Department
of Defense cyber cooperation with the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO) and would require the Secretary of Defense
to submit to the congressional defense committees a report
detailing the Department’s efforts to enhance the United States’
leadership in and collaboration with NATO in the development of
a comprehensive, cross-domain strategy to build cyber-defense
capacity and deter cyber attacks among member countries.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would strike the
sense of the Senate.
The conferees believe that the Department of Defense
should continue to cooperate with NATO and key NATO allies in
order to promote the common defense in the cyberspace domain as
well as to deter cyberattacks.
Report on status of the United States relationship with the
Republic of Turkey (sec. 1282)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1271) that
would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, to submit a report on the U.S.-Turkish
relationship to the congressional defense committees, the
Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee
on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, not later

 than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. The
provision would also prohibit any action to execute delivery of
a foreign military sale for major defense equipment under
section 36 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2761) to
the Republic of Turkey until the required report is delivered to
the specified congressional committees.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require
the report on the U.S.-Turkish relationship to be delivered not
later than 90 days after the enactment of this Act. The
amendment would add to the matters to be included in the
required report an assessment of the operational and
counterintelligence risks posed by the deployment of the S-400
air and missile defense system in the Republic of Turkey to the
F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike aircraft and the steps required
to mitigate those risks, if possible. 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

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.

Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of

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 House recedes with an amendment that would direct the
Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of
Defense and other appropriate officials, to submit the report,
rather than the Secretary of Defense and the Director of
National Intelligence.
Modification of freedom of navigation reporting requirements
(sec. 1288)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1289) that
would amend section 1275 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), as amended by
section 1262(a)(1) of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), to add the Committee on

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)

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

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)

would require reports with regard to Russian violations of the

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

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

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.

required elsewhere in this report.
Sense of Congress on ballistic missile program of Iran

program of Iran represents a serious threat to the allies of 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.

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

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.

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

 The conferees note with deep concern Russia’s
destabilizing activities in Afghanistan. By misrepresenting the
danger that Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – Khorasan

international effort to establish peace and stability in
Afghanistan and the Central and South Asian region. To better
understand the nature of these activities, the conferees direct
the appropriate agency within the Department of Defense, in
conjunction with the Intelligence Community, to provide a report
to the congressional defense and foreign relations committees no
later than January 31st, 2019. The required report should be

States of Micronesia, Republic of the Marshall Islands, and
Palau, the United States has exclusive military use rights in
these countries in exchange for the defense of the FAS. The

capacity of such Departments to promote regional stability
around the world while protecting and promoting United States
interests. Foreign Service officers serving as political
advisors within the Department of Defense provide deep
understanding of diplomatic dynamics and issues and can enable,
through such exchange programs, the Department of Defense to

would direct the Secretary of Defense to submit with the annual
President’s budget request an estimate for the costs of
operations currently supported in part or in whole by overseas
contingency operations (OCO) funds that are likely to continue
beyond such contingency.
The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec.
1003) that would require the Under Secretary of Defense
(Comptroller) to submit a report that outlines the changes to
the Office of Management and Budget OCO criteria and lists the
exact figure amounts by project or activity that are shifted
from OCO to base funding for the fiscal year 2020 budget
request.
The Senate recedes with an amendment to combine both
provisions. The provision requires the Under Secretary of
Defense (Comptroller) to submit a report to the congressional
defense committees, two weeks after the submission of the
President’s budget request, an estimate of any enduring costs
which are funded through OCO funds, and a detailed description
of any costs that have been transferred from OCO to base funds.

guidelines regarding the budget items that may be covered by
overseas contingency operations funds. The conferees await the
results of this report due in August 2018. Furthermore, the
conferees anticipate that the results of the first full
financial audit will contain a recommendation for the Department
of Defense to identify receipt of base appropriations separately
from overseas contingency operations appropriations. The
conferees recommend the Department of Defense begin work to
implement these controls.

TITLE XVI—STRATEGIC PROGRAMS, CYBER, AND
INTELLIGENCE MATTERS
SUBTITLE A—SPACE ACTIVITIES
Improvements to acquisition system, personnel, and organization
of space forces (sec. 1601)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1601) that
would direct the Deputy Secretary of Defense to develop a plan
to establish an alternative acquisition system for defense space
acquisitions, including with respect to space vehicles, ground
segments, and terminals. The provision would also require the
Secretary of the Air Force to develop and implement a plan to

 increase the number and improve the quality of the civilian and
military space cadre within the Air Force and establish a new
numbered Air Force responsible for space warfighting operations.
Finally, the provision would establish a subordinate unified
command for space under U.S. Strategic Command that would be
responsible for joint space warfighting operations.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes with amendments that would remove the
requirement for a numbered Air Force and remove the requirement
to implement the plan for cadre development.
Modifications to Space Rapid Capabilities Office (sec. 1602)
The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1601)
that would clarify and update the structure of the Space Rapid
Capabilities Office.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with technical and clarifying
amendments.
Rapid, responsive, and reliable space launch (sec. 1603)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1602) that
would amend section 2273(b) of title 10, United States Code, to
include consideration of rapid, responsive, and reliable space
launches for national security space programs and re-name the
Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program the National Security
Space Launch program. It would also require the Secretary of
Defense to consider both reusable and expendable launch vehicles
for any solicitations on or after March 1, 2019, and require the
Secretary to notify the appropriate congressional committees 60
days before issuing any solicitation for which reusable launch
vehicles are not deemed eligible. 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. The provision
would further require the Secretary of Defense to enter into a
contract with a federally funded research and development center
(FFRDC) to assess which department or departments should assume
these authorities. 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.
Budget assessments for national security space programs (sec.
1605)

request to Congress.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Improvements to commercial space launch operations (sec. 1606)

 The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1604)
that would prohibit the imposition by the Secretary of Defense
of requirements duplicative of those imposed by the Secretary of
Transportation under chapter 509 of title 10, United States
Code. 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

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)

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.

 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.

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

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.
The House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would adjust the
criteria for inclusion on the list.
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 House bill contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would expand the
scope of the study to include other advanced or immature
technologies.

SUBTITLE D—NUCLEAR FORCES

 Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and the
Nuclear Weapons Council (sec. 1661)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1641) that
would add the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and
Engineering as a member of the Nuclear Weapons Council and make
a technical correction elsewhere in section 179 of title 10,
United States Code.
The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.
The Senate recedes.
Long-range standoff weapon requirements (sec. 1662)
The House bill contained a provision (sec. 1642) that
would allow the Secretary of the Air Force to retire the
conventionally-armed AGM-86C and require the Secretary to ensure
that a conventionally-armed long-range standoff weapon (LRSO)

(EW BMC2) strategy and policy. If the Secretary determines that
a military service should be designated as executive agent for
EW BMC2, the Secretary should include which Service should be
designated as such and the rationale supporting that
recommendation. If the Secretary determines that no military
service should be designated as executive agent for EW BMC2, the

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.

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.
