LANDS TO BE TAKEN INTO TRUST AS PART OF 6 THE 7 RANCHERIA. 8 OF THE LYTTON (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 9 (1) The Lytton Rancheria of California is a fed- 10 erally recognized Indian tribe that lost its homeland 11 after its relationship to the United States was un- 12 justly and unlawfully terminated in 1958. The Tribe 13 was restored to Federal recognition in 1991, but the 14 conditions of its restoration have prevented it from 15 regaining a homeland on its original lands. 16 (2) Congress needs to take action to reverse 17 historic injustices that befell the Tribe and that have 18 prevented it from regaining a viable homeland for its 19 people. 20 (3) Prior to European contact there were as 21 many as 350,000 Indians living in what is now the 22 State of California. By the turn of the 19th century, 23 that number had been reduced to approximately 24 15,000 individuals, many of them homeless and liv- 25 ing in scattered bands and communities. g:\VHLC\120919\120919.161.xml December 9, 2019 (1:08 p.m.) VerDate Mar 15 2010 RESERVATION 13:08 Dec 09, 2019 Jkt 000000 (751097 12) PO 00000 Frm 01796 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERYWEATHER\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASC G:\CMTE\AS\20\C\ASCR20.XML 1797 1 (4) The Lytton Rancheria’s original homeland 2 was purchased by the United States in 1926 pursu- 3 ant to congressional authority designed to remedy 4 the unique tragedy that befell the Indians of Cali- 5 fornia and provide them with reservations called 6 Rancherias to be held in trust by the United States. 7 (5) After the Lytton Rancheria lands were pur- 8 chased by the United States, the Tribe settled on 9 the land and sustained itself for several decades by 10 farming and ranching. 11 (6) By the mid-1950s, Federal Indian policy 12 had shifted back towards a policy of terminating the 13 Federal relationship with Indian tribes. In 1958, 14 Congress enacted the Rancheria Act of 1958 (72 15 Stat. 619), which slated 41 Rancherias in California, 16 including the Lytton Rancheria, for termination 17 after certain conditions were met. 18 (7) On August 1, 1961, the Federal Govern- 19 ment terminated its relationship with the Lytton 20 Rancheria. This termination was illegal because the 21 conditions for termination under the Rancheria Act 22 had never been met. After termination was imple- 23 mented, the Tribe lost its lands and was left without 24 any means of supporting itself. g:\VHLC\120919\120919.161.xml December 9, 2019 (1:08 p.m.) VerDate Mar 15 2010 13:08 Dec 09, 2019 Jkt 000000 (751097 12) PO 00000 Frm 01797 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERYWEATHER\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASC G:\CMTE\AS\20\C\ASCR20.XML 1798 1 (8) In 1987, the Tribe joined three other tribes 2 in a lawsuit against the United States challenging 3 the illegal termination of their Rancherias. A Stipu- 4 lated Judgment in the case, Scotts Valley Band of 5 Pomo Indians of the Sugar Bowl Rancheria v. United 6 States, No. C–86–3660 (N.D.Cal. March 22, 1991), 7 restored the Lytton Rancheria to its status as a fed- 8 erally recognized Indian tribe. 9 (9) The Stipulated Judgment provides that the 10 Lytton Rancheria would have the ‘‘individual and 11 collective status and rights’’ which it had prior to its 12 termination and expressly contemplated the acquisi- 13 tion of trust lands for the Lytton Rancheria. 14 (10) The Stipulated Judgment contains provi- 15 sions, included at the request of the local county 16 governments and neighboring landowners, that pro- 17 hibit the Lytton Rancheria from exercising its full 18 Federal rights on its original homeland in the Alex- 19 ander Valley. 20 (11) In 2000, approximately 9.5 acres of land 21 in San Pablo, California, was placed in trust status 22 for the Lytton Rancheria for economic development 23 purposes. 24 (12) The Tribe has since acquired, from willing 25 sellers at fair market value, property in Sonoma g:\VHLC\120919\120919.161.xml December 9, 2019 (1:08 p.m.) VerDate Mar 15 2010 13:08 Dec 09, 2019 Jkt 000000 (751097 12) PO 00000 Frm 01798 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERYWEATHER\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASC G:\CMTE\AS\20\C\ASCR20.XML 1799 1 County near the Tribe’s historic Rancheria. This 2 property, which the Tribe holds in fee status, is suit- 3 able for a new homeland for the Tribe. 4 (13) On a portion of the land to be taken into 5 trust, which portion totals approximately 124.12 6 acres, the Tribe plans to build housing for its mem- 7 bers and governmental and community facilities. 8 (14) A portion of the land to be taken into 9 trust is being used for viniculture, and the Tribe in- 10 tends to develop more of the lands to be taken into 11 trust for viniculture. The Tribe’s investment in the 12 ongoing viniculture operation has reinvigorated the 13 vineyards, which are producing high-quality wines. 14 The Tribe is operating its vineyards on a sustainable 15 basis and is working toward certification of sustain- 16 ability. 17 18 (15) No gaming shall be conducted on the lands to be taken into trust by this section. 19 (16) No gaming shall be conducted on any 20 lands taken into trust on behalf of the Tribe in 21 Sonoma County after the date of the enactment of 22 this Act. 23 (17) By directing that these lands be taken into 24 trust, the United States will ensure that the Lytton 25 Rancheria will finally have a permanently protected g:\VHLC\120919\120919.161.xml December 9, 2019 (1:08 p.m.) VerDate Mar 15 2010 13:08 Dec 09, 2019 Jkt 000000 (751097 12) PO 00000 Frm 01799 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERYWEATHER\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASC G:\CMTE\AS\20\C\ASCR20.XML 1800 1 homeland on which the Tribe can once again live 2 communally and plan for future generations.

ENCOURAGEMENT OF COOPERATIVE ACTIONS 7 TO DETECT AND COUNTER FOREIGN INFLU- 8 ENCE OPERATIONS. 9 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find- 10 ings: 11 (1) The Russian Federation, through military 12 intelligence units, also known as the ‘‘GRU’’, and 13 Kremlin-linked troll organizations often referred to 14 as the ‘‘Internet Research Agency’’, deploy informa- 15 tion warfare operations against the United States, 16 its allies and partners, with the goal of advancing 17 the strategic interests of the Russian Federation. 18 (2) One line of effort deployed as part of these 19 information warfare operations is the weaponization 20 of social media platforms with the goals of inten- 21 sifying societal tensions, undermining trust in gov- 22 ernmental institutions within the United States, its 23 allies and partners in the West, and generally sow- 24 ing division, fear, and confusion. g:\VHLC\120919\120919.161.xml December 9, 2019 (1:08 p.m.) VerDate Mar 15 2010 13:08 Dec 09, 2019 Jkt 000000 (751097 12) PO 00000 Frm 02190 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERYWEATHER\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASC G:\CMTE\AS\20\C\ASCR20.XML 2191 1 (3) These information warfare operations are a 2 threat to the national security of the United States 3 and that of the allies and partners of the United 4 States. As former Director of National Intelligence 5 Dan Coats stated, ‘‘These actions are persistent, 6 they are pervasive and they are meant to undermine 7 America’s democracy.’’. 8 9 (4) These information warfare operations continue to evolve and increase in sophistication. 10 (5) Other foreign adversaries and hostile non- 11 state actors are increasingly adopting similar tactics 12 of deploying information warfare operations against 13 the West, such as recent state-backed operations 14 from China around the Hong Kong protests identi- 15 fied by social media companies. 16 (6) Technological advances, including artificial 17 intelligence, will only make it more difficult in the 18 future to detect fraudulent accounts, deceptive mate- 19 rial posted on social media, and malign behavior on 20 social media platforms. 21 (7) Because these information warfare oper- 22 ations are deployed within and across private social 23 media platforms, the companies that own these plat- 24 forms have a responsibility to detect and facilitate g:\VHLC\120919\120919.161.xml December 9, 2019 (1:08 p.m.) VerDate Mar 15 2010 13:08 Dec 09, 2019 Jkt 000000 (751097 12) PO 00000 Frm 02191 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 C:\USERS\KLMERYWEATHER\APPDATA\ROAMING\SOFTQUAD\XMETAL\7.0\GEN\C\ASC G:\CMTE\AS\20\C\ASCR20.XML 2192 1 the removal or neutralization of foreign adversary 2 networks operating clandestinely on their platforms. 3 (8) The social media companies are inherently 4 technologically sophisticated and adept at rapidly 5 analyzing large amounts of data and developing soft- 6 ware-based solutions to diverse and ever-changing 7 challenges on their platforms, which makes them 8 well-equipped to address the threat occurring on 9 their platforms. 10 (9) Independent analyses confirmed Kremlin- 11 linked threat networks, based on data provided by 12 several social media companies to the Select Com- 13 mittee on Intelligence of the Senate, thereby dem- 14 onstrating that it is possible to discern both broad 15 patterns of cross-platform information warfare oper- 16 ations and specific fraudulent behavior on social 17 media platforms. 18 (10) General Paul Nakasone, Director of the 19 National Security Agency, emphasized the impor- 20 tance of these independent analyses to the planning 21 and conducting of military cyber operations to frus- 22 trate Kremlin-linked information warfare operations 23 against the 2018 mid-term elections.

The Senate recedes from its disagreement to the amendment of the House with an amendment that is a substitute for the Senate bill and the House amendment. The differences between the Senate bill, the House 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 2020 was $741.9 billion. Of this amount, $642.5 billion was requested for base Department of Defense programs, $75.9 billion was requested for overseas contingency operations, $23.2 billion was requested 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 conference agreement would authorize $729.9 billion in fiscal year 2020, including $635.0 billion for base Department of Defense programs, $71.5 billion for overseas contingency operations, $23.1 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 2020 defense programs. Budgetary effects of this Act (sec. 4) The Senate bill 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 PayAs-You-Go Act of 2010 (title I of Public Law 111-139). The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1006). The House recedes. DIVISION A—DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATIONS TITLE I—PROCUREMENT BUDGET ITEMS Columbia-class submarine advance procurement The budget request included $1.7 billion in line item 1 of Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy for Columbia-class submarine advance procurement. The House amendment would authorize an increase of $125.0 million above the request. The Senate bill would authorize an increase of $125.0 million above the request. The agreement authorizes an increase of $123.0 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. Virginia-class submarine procurement and advance procurement The budget request included $7.2 billion in line number 3 of Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy (SCN) for Virginia-class submarine procurement and $2.8 billion in line number 4 of SCN for Virginia-class submarine advance procurement. The House amendment would authorize a decrease of $550.0 million below the request in line number 3 of SCN and the funding level of the request in line number 4 of SCN. The Senate bill would authorize a decrease of $2.5 billion below the request in line number 3 of SCN and an increase of $1.5 billion above the request in line number 4 of SCN. The agreement authorizes a decrease of $1.7 billion below the request in line number 3 of SCN and an increase of $200.0 million above the request in line number 4 of SCN. The conferees note that the budget request included a plan to procure 11 Virginia-class attack submarines across the future years defense program (FYDP). The conferees supported that plan in both the House of Representatives and Senate National Defense Authorization Acts for Fiscal Year 2020. Unfortunately, the conferees have learned from the Navy that the original request was not financially or technically executable. For example, the Navy’s request included procuring one boat in each of fiscal years 2020 and 2021 without the Virginia Payload Module (VPM). The conferees only recently learned that shifting the configuration to a non-VPM design would have resulted in considerable delay and disruption in building attack submarines, and could have harmed the Columbia-class program as well. The conferees expect budget requests and associated materials to be complete and accurate, with rigorous supporting justification and analysis that demonstrates such requests are fully executable. The conferees further expect that when the Navy finds discrepancies, the Navy will provide timely, full, and open disclosure of such issues. The conferees are concerned that the Virginia-class fiscal year 2020 request lacked both accuracy and timely reporting of discrepancies. The Navy has recently proposed a revised acquisition strategy with 9 Virginia-class submarines procured in fiscal years 2019 through 2023, with options to procure additional ships over that period. The conferees priority is to ensure the Navy fully preserves a plan to procure 10 Virginia-class attack submarines, nine of which include the VPM, and expects the Navy to budget accordingly in their fiscal year 2021 budget submission. Therefore, the conferees are providing the necessary additional Virginia-class advance procurement (AP) and procurement funds, including the AP funds needed to procure two submarines in fiscal year 2021, as submitted in the fiscal year 2020 budget as well as the 30-year shipbuilding plan. The conferees recognize that due to recent negotiations the required multi-year certification of a ten submarine contract may not be possible, because it is not fully funded across the FYDP. The conferees note that section 2306b of title 10, United States Code, allows the Secretary of Defense to certify the contract even if all of the requirements are not met. The conferees encourage the Secretary to consider utilizing this authority in order to expeditiously secure a contract for ten submarines. The conferees regret that they presently lack sufficient budgetary information to support an eleventh Virginia-class submarine in the fiscal year 2019 through 2023 timeframe. The conferees would thoroughly consider an opportunity to increase submarine procurement in the future if it were technically and financially executable. SUBTITLE A—AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS Authorization of appropriations (sec. 101) The Senate 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 House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 101). The conference agreement includes this provision. SUBTITLE B—ARMY PROGRAMS Authority of the Secretary of the Army to waive certain limitations related to the Distributed Common Ground System-Army Increment 1 (sec. 111) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 112) that would amend Section 113(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-38; 130 Stat. 2028) by striking “Secretary of Defense” and inserting “Secretary of the Army”. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. SUBTITLE C—NAVY PROGRAMS Ford-class aircraft carrier cost limitation baselines (sec. 121) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 112) that would repeal section 122 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364). The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 123) that would establish Ford-class aircraft carrier cost limitation baselines in title 10, United States Code, and repeal section 122 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364). The House recedes with an amendment that would provide the Secretary of the Navy with the authority to adjust Ford-class aircraft carrier cost limitation baselines if advance notice is given to the congressional defense committees. Modification of annual report on cost targets for certain aircraft carriers (sec. 122) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 111) that would amend section 126(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), that requires an annual report on cost reduction efforts for CVN-79 and CVN-80. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require annual reports through fiscal year 2032. Refueling and complex overhauls of the U.S.S. John C. Stennis and U.S.S. Harry S. Truman (sec. 123) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 128) that would require the Secretary of the Navy to carry out the nuclear refueling and complex overhaul of the USS John C. Stennis (CVN– 74) and USS Harry S. Truman (CVN–75). The provision would also authorize the use of incremental funding for a period not to exceed 6 years after advance procurement funds for each nuclear refueling and complex overhaul effort are first obligated. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Ford class aircraft carrier support for F-35C aircraft (sec. 124) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 113) that would require the Secretary of the Navy to ensure that the aircraft carrier to be designated CVN–79 is capable of deploying with the F–35 prior to accepting delivery. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require CVN–79 be capable of deploying with the F–35 prior to the completion of the ship’s post shakedown availability. Prohibition on use of funds for reduction of aircraft carrier force structure (sec. 125) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 114) that would limit the Secretary of Defense from reducing aircraft carrier force structure below the level required by section 5062 of title 10, United States Code. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Modification of prohibition on availability of funds for Navy waterborne security barriers (sec. 126) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 121) that would amend section 130 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115–232) to extend the prohibition on availability of funds for Navy port waterborne security barriers through fiscal year 2020 and would require the Secretary of the Navy to notify the congressional defense committees if exigent circumstances, under which an exception is granted, are deemed to exist. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would limit the sustainment, refurbishment, and replacement to not more than 30 percent of portions of existing waterborne security barriers. LHA Replacement Amphibious Assault Ship Program (sec. 127) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 125) that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into and incrementally fund a contract for design and construction of the LHA replacement ship designated LHA–9. The provision would also repeal section 125 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109–364). The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Strategic sealift fleet vessel (sec. 128) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 118) that would direct the Secretary of the Navy to enter into a contract for one sealift vessel, subject to certain requirements. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make entering into a contract or other agreement with a privatesector entity under which the entity would serve as the executive agent permissive. Design and construction of amphibious transport dock designated LPD-31 (sec. 129) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 115) that would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to enter into a contract for the amphibious transport dock ship designated LPD31. Additionally, the Secretary would be authorized to use incremental funding authority to complete the construction. The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 124). The Senate recedes. The conferees’ intent is for the Secretary of the Navy to use the $350.0 million appropriated in Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy (SCN) line number 13 in fiscal year 2019 and additional fiscal year 2020 funds in SCN line number 12 to procure LPD–31 long-lead material and start construction as efficiently as possible. Consistent with the budget request, the conferees expect the Navy to request the balance of costs for LPD–31 in fiscal year 2021. Limitation on availability of funds for the Littoral Combat Ship (sec. 130) The Senate bill contained provisions (sec. 126 and sec. 5126) that would prohibit funds from being used to exceed the total procurement quantity listed in revision five of the Littoral Combat Ship acquisition strategy unless the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment submits to the congressional defense committees a certification. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with a technical amendment. Limitation on the next new class of Navy large surface combatants (sec. 131) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 127) that would require design changes identified during the full duration of the combat system ship qualification trials and operational test periods of the first Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in the Flight III configuration be incorporated prior to Milestone B approval for the next new class of Navy large surface combatants. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would require a land-based engineering site for the propulsion system. The conferees note that over the last 10 years, the Comptroller General of the United States has issued at least 26 reports that identified shipbuilding best practices and made 67 recommendations to help the Navy improve shipbuilding outcomes. In a June 2018 report, the Government Accountability Office found that the Navy, in many cases, has not taken steps based upon these shipbuilding best practices. In order to better understand the key aspects of ship design necessary to provide confidence in a program’s cost, schedule, and reliability targets, the conferees direct the Comptroller General to conduct a review of shipbuilding design practices. This review shall include an examination of the Navy’s design practices for shipbuilding major defense acquisition programs to assess measures of the lead ship or lead ship of a major ship modification’s design maturity and stability sufficient to inform an understanding of the construction costs and the effort needed to execute the design, and any other related matters. The Comptroller General shall provide a briefing and report to the congressional defense committees not later than April 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021, respectively, that describe the findings of the review. Limitation on availability of funds pending quarterly updates on the CH-53K King Stallion helicopter program (sec. 132) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 116) that would require the Secretary of the Navy to provide quarterly briefings to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives on the progress of the CH-53K King Stallion program. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. Limitation on availability of funds for VH-92A helicopter (sec. 133) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 117) that would require the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives on the VH-92A helicopter program. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. Report on carrier wing and aviation combat element composition (sec. 134) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 129) that would direct the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to the congressional defense committees, no later than May 1, 2020, on the optimal composition of the carrier air wing (CVW) in 2030 and 2040, as well as alternative force design concepts. The provision would also require the Secretary to provide a briefing on the report no later than March 1, 2020, to the congressional defense committees. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report on the optimal composition of the CVW on aircraft carriers and aviation combat element (ACE) embarked on amphibious ships in 2030 and 2040, including alternative force design concepts. Of specific concern that should be highlighted is the logistics impact based on the aircraft carriers ability to support the specified air wing. SUBTITLE D—AIR FORCE PROGRAMS Modification of requirement to preserve certain C-5 aircraft (sec. 141) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 121) that would amend section 141(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) to reinstate the requirement for the Secretary of the Air Force to continue to preserve certain C–5 aircraft in a storage condition that would allow a recall of retired aircraft to future service in the Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, or Active Force structure. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require storage of C-5 aircraft until a new mobility requirement study is accomplished. OC-135B aircraft recapitalization program (sec. 142) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 130A) that would ensure that any Request for Proposals for the procurement of an OC-135B aircraft under the Open Skies Treaty aircraft recapitalization program meets the requirements for full and open competition as set forth in section 2304 of title 10, United States Code, and incorporates a full competitive bidding process, to include both new production aircraft and recently manufactured low-hour, low-cycle aircraft. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require a full competitive bidding process, including new and recently manufactured aircraft. Requirement to align Air Force aviation force structure with National Defense Strategy (sec. 143) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 141) that would require the Secretary of the Air Force to align the fighter force structure acquisition strategy with the results of the independent studies required by section 1064 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 11591) and to transmit the new strategy in a report to the congressional defense committees no later than March 1, 2020. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would require the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to the congressional defense committees, no later than March 1, 2020, on the aviation force structure acquisition strategy that aligns with the stated capability and capacity requirements of the Air Force to meet the National Defense Strategy. Additionally, the amendment would require a waiver from the Secretary of Defense if the Secretary of the Air Force deviates from the strategy Prohibition on availability of funds for reduction in KC-10 primary mission aircraft inventory (sec. 144) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 124) that would prohibit the retirement of any primary inventory KC-10 aircraft in fiscal year 2020. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Limitation on availability of funds for F-15EX aircraft program (sec. 145) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 123) that would require the Secretary of Defense to designate the F-15EX program as a major subprogram and subject it to relevant reporting requirements and criteria pertinent to a major subprogram. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the same information pertinent to a major subprogram in the form of a comprehensive report, which the conferees understand would be less burdensome on the Secretary to generate instead of formal acquisition documents that could delay execution of the program using middle-tier rapid-acquisition authorities for the first two procurement lots of aircraft. The amendment would also authorize procurement of long-lead aircraft materials to be procured for all aircraft authorized. The conferees expect the Secretary of the Air Force to maintain information transparency with the congressional defense committees, and to sufficiently and promptly keep the congressional defense committees apprised of issues particularly associated with the planning, cost, schedule, execution, fielding, or risk related to the F-15EX program. Limitation on availability of funds for VC-25B aircraft (sec. 146) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 125) that would prohibit the Secretary of the Air Force from obligating or expending any funds to exercise the over-and-above clause of the VC-25B contract until the Secretary submits a certification to the congressional defense committees. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the notification of congressional committees if the over-andabove clause in the VC-25B contract is used. Limitation on availability of funds for RC-26B aircraft (sec. 147) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 129) that would limit funds for the retiring of the RC–26B aircraft until the Secretary of Air Force certifies to the congressional defense committees that other platforms or technologies provide equivalent capabilities to the RC-26B aircraft. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would limit funds until the report regarding the efficacy of the RC-26 mission is delivered; the Secretary of the Air Force certifies whether there are missions that the RC-26B is required to complete; and whether there is a more cost effective way to complete those missions should the RC-26B be divested or retired.

Sense of Senate on prioritizing survivable logistics for the Department of Defense The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5302) that would express the sense of the Senate on the importance of prioritizing survivable logistics. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note that the joint logistics enterprise of the Armed Forces faces high-end threats from strategic competitors – China, Russia, and Iran - all of which have invested in anti-access area denial capabilities and gray zone tactics. As such, the conferees believe that resilient and agile logistics are necessary to implement the 2018 National Defense Strategy because it enables the United States to project power and sustain the fight against its strategic competitors in peacetime and during war. Additionally, there are significant logistics shortfalls, as outlined in the November 2018 final report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Survivable Logistics, which, if left unaddressed, would hamper the readiness and ability of the Armed Forces to conduct operations globally. The conferees believe that since the military departments have not shown a strong commitment to funding logistics, the Secretaries of the military departments should review the full list of recommendations in the report and address the chronic underfunding of logistics relative to other priorities.

The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Public access to dockets, filings, and court records of courtsmartial or other records of trial of the military justice system (sec. 534) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 559) that would amend Article 140a of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (10 U.S.C. 940a) to clarify that the Secretary of Defense must act in coordination with the Secretary of Homeland Security to apply to the United States Coast Guard the uniform standards and criteria governing administration of the military justice system, including those associated with: (1) The collection and analysis of data; (2) Case processing and management; (3) Timely, efficient, and accurate production and distribution of records of trial; and (4) Facilitating public access to docket information, filings, and records of court-martial proceedings.

Extension of Defense Advisory Committee on Investigation, Prosecution, and Defense of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces (sec. 535) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 533) that would amend section 546(f)(1) of the Carl Levin and Howard P. "Buck" McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) to extend the term of the Defense Advisory Committee on Investigation, Prosecution, and Defense of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces (DAC-IPAD) by 5 years. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 548). The House recedes. The conferees request the DAC-IPAD review, as appropriate, whether other justice programs (e.g., restorative justice programs, mediation) could be employed or modified to assist the victim of an alleged sexual assault or the alleged offender, particularly in cases in which the evidence in the victim's case has been determined not to be sufficient to take judicial, nonjudicial, or administrative action against the perpetrator of the alleged offense. Further, the conferees recognize the importance of providing survivors of sexual assault an opportunity to provide a full and complete description of the impact of the assault on the survivor during court-martial sentencing hearings related to the offense. The conferees are concerned by reports that some military judges have interpreted Rule for Courts-Martial (RCM) 1001(c) too narrowly, limiting what survivors are permitted to say during sentencing hearings in ways that do not fully inform the court of the impact of the crime on the survivor. Therefore, the conferees request that, on a one-time basis, or more frequently, as appropriate, and adjunct to its review of court-martial cases completed in any particular year, the DAC-IPAD assess whether military judges are according appropriate deference to victims of crimes who exercise their right to be heard under RCM 1001(c) at sentencing hearings, and appropriately permitting other witnesses to testify about the impact of the crime under RCM 1001. Authority for return of personal property to victims of sexual assault who file a Restricted Report before conclusion of related proceedings (sec. 536) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 532) that would amend section 586 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112–81) to require the Secretary of Defense to prescribe procedures under which a victim of sexual assault who files a restricted report may, at any time and on a confidential basis, request the return of the victim’s personal property obtained as part of the sexual assault forensic examination. Any such request on the part of the victim would not affect the restricted nature of the victim’s report of sexual assault. The provision also would require a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator or Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate to inform the victim of his or her right to request the return of personal property under these procedures, but that any such return might negatively affect a subsequent adjudication of the case, should the victim later decide to convert the restricted report to an unrestricted report. The provision would not affect the requirement to retain a sexual assault forensic examination kit for the period required in law. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Guidelines on sentences for offenses committed under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (sec. 537) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 533) that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish non-binding sentencing guidelines for offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, taking into account sentencing data collected by the Military Justice Review Panel. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop non-binding guidelines on sentences for offenses under chapter 47 of title 10, United States Code (the Uniform Code of Military Justice), including suggested ranges of confinement. The provision would require the Secretary of Defense to submit the sentencing guidelines developed, together with an assessment of the feasibility and advisability of implementing such guidelines in panel sentencing cases, to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 1 year after the date on which the first report of the Military Justice Review Panel is submitted, to ensure that development of the guidelines is informed by sentencing data collected by the Panel. Notification of significant events and documentation of preference for prosecution jurisdiction for victims of sexual assault (sec. 538) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 524) that would require a commander of a member of the Armed Forces who is the victim of an alleged sexual assault committed by another member of the Armed Forces to provide notification to the victim of every key or other significant event in the military justice process in connection with the investigation, prosecution, and confinement of such other member. In cases in which the member of the Armed Forces alleged to have committed the sexual assault is subject to prosecution by both court-martial and by a civilian court under Federal or State law, the commander of the victim would be required to create and maintain appropriate documentation of the victim's expressed preference, if any, of forum for prosecution of the offense. The Secretary of Defense would be required to prescribe regulations applicable to the notifications, elections, and documentation required by the provision. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 534). The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require notification to a victim of each significant event in the military justice process, and documentation of that notification, as well as documentation of the victim's preference for prosecution jurisdiction, in an appropriate system of records of the military department concerned. The Secretary of Defense would be required to prescribe regulations implementing this provision not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, with a view to permitting the Secretary to determine by whom each such notifications should be made, the manner of each notification, whether a victim may elect not to receive such notifications, and how decisions on the part of the victim should be memorialized, among other matters. Increase in number of digital forensic examiners for certain military criminal investigative organizations (sec. 539) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 557) that would require each of the secretaries of the military departments to increase the number of digital forensic examiners in each military criminal investigative organization (MCIO) under that secretary's jurisdiction by not fewer than 10 examiners above the baseline number of digital forensic examiners in each MCIO as of September 30, 2019. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 536). The House recedes with a clarifying amendment.

The provision would require each Secretary to issue guidance requiring criminal investigators to submit a status report to their direct supervisor in the event an investigation exceeds 90 days. The provision also would require the secretaries of the military departments to increase the number of personnel serving as Victim Witness Assistance Program liaisons to address personnel shortages. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the secretaries of the military departments, within 1 year from the date of enactment of this Act, to increase the number of personnel assigned to the military criminal investigative organization of that department, with the goal of ensuring that, to the extent practicable, the investigation of any sex-related offense is completed not later than 6 months after the date on which the investigation is initiated. An investigation would be deemed complete when the active phase of the investigation is sufficiently complete to enable the appropriate authority to reach a decision with respect to the disposition of charges for the sex-related offense. The provision would further require each secretary to increase the number of personnel serving as Victim Witness Assistance liaisons to address personnel shortages in the program, also within a period of one year. Finally, the provision would specify that neither the statement of an aspirational timeline for the completion of investigations of sex-related offenses, nor the directive to increase the number of criminal investigators and Victim Witness Assistance liaisons creates a cause of action enforceable at law or in equity against the United States, the Department of Defense, or any person. Training for sexual assault initial disposition authorities on exercise of disposition authority for sexual assault and collateral offenses (sec. 540A) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 523) that would require comprehensive training for sexual assault initial disposition authorities, as defined by the April 20, 2012, Secretary of Defense memorandum, "Withholding Initial Disposition Authority Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice in Certain Sexual Assault Cases," on the exercise of their authorities in such cases, with a view to enhancing the capabilities of such authorities and promoting trust and confidence in the military justice system.

The provision would further require that the training provided to commanders incorporate best practices in all matters covered. These best practices should be identified and brought current through periodic surveys and reviews. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 540C). The House recedes with a technical amendment. Timely disposition of nonprosecutable sex-related offenses (sec. 540C) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 539) that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop and implement a policy to ensure the timely disposition of non-prosecutable sex-related offenses. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense to develop a policy to ensure the timely disposition of alleged sex-related offenses that a courtmartial convening authority has declined to refer for trial by a general or special court-martial, due to a determination that there is insufficient evidence to support prosecution of the offense. The Secretary would be required to implement the policy within 180 days of the enactment of this Act.

The report would further assess the feasibility and advisability of conducting a pilot program to assess any such alternative military justice system, and would be required to be submitted not later than 300 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Report on standardization among the military departments in collection and presentation of information on matters within the military justice system (sec. 540G) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 562) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, describing plans to standardize across the military departments, to the extent practicable, the collection and presentation of matters within their military justice systems, including information collected and maintained to facilitate public access to court-martial docket information, filings, and records, and for other purposes set forth in article 140 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (10 U.S.C. 940a).

Clarification regarding eligibility to transfer entitlement under Post-9/11 Educational Assistance Program (sec. 578) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 574) that would amend section 3319 of title 38, United States Code, to prevent the Secretary of Defense from imposing a limit on transferability of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits based on maximum number of years of service. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note the provision authorizing some servicemembers to transfer their education benefit was originally included as part of the Post-9/11 Veterans’ Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (Public Law 110252) to serve as a retention incentive. Section 3319 of title 38, United States Code, is explicit in stating the purpose of the transferability provision is to “promote recruitment and retention in the uniformed services.” Therefore, the conferees fully expect the Department of Defense to require that any servicemember who requests, and is authorized, to transfer their education benefits serve the mandated four additional years as a member of the uniformed services. This payback period should be applied in all cases, regardless of when a servicemember actually elects to transfer their benefits. While this provision prohibits the Department of Defense from imposing a general limit on transferability based on the number of years served, the overall authority on whether to grant an individual servicemember’s request to transfer benefits remains entirely at the service secretary’s discretion. The conferees encourage service secretaries to develop policies that properly treat transferability as one of many possible recruiting and retention tools to attract and keep high-quality servicemembers. Annual State report card (sec. 579) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5501) that would amend section 1111(h)(1)(C)(ii) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.

The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 629) that would: (1) Expand the authority to provide financial assistance to civilian providers of child care services or youth program services that provide services to survivors of members of the Armed Forces who die in the line of duty; (2) Expand the direct hire authority for childcare service providers; (3) Require the Secretary of Defense to conduct an assessment of financial assistance provided to civilian childcare providers; (4) Require the Secretary of Defense to conduct an assessment of childcare capacity on military installations and require remedial action to alleviate the waiting lists for childcare if necessary; (5) Require the Secretary of Defense to conduct an assessment of the accessibility of websites of the Department of Defense related to childcare and spousal employment; and (6) Ensure the portability of background investigations and training certifications for childcare providers employed by the Department of Defense when such providers are transferred to another Department facility. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would clarify the direct hire authority for Department of Defense childcare development centers to include family childcare coordinator services and school age childcare coordinator services. Additionally, the provision would require the Secretary of Defense to take remedial action if necessary to reduce waiting lists for childcare at military installations and to provide a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on any action taken or any additional resources necessary to increase access to childcare. The provision would also require a review of the assessments conducted by the Secretary under this provision by the Comptroller General of the United States. Transportation of remains of casualties; travel expenses for next of kin (sec. 580A) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 577) that would amend section 562 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364) to require the Secretary of Defense to extend travel privileges via international travel authorization to family members of servicemembers who die outside of the United States and whose remains are returned to the mortuary facility at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a technical amendment.

The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense to direct the service chiefs and the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to meet periodically with representative groups of survivors to receive feedback regarding issues affecting survivors. Information and opportunities for registration for voting and absentee ballot requests for members of the Armed Forces undergoing deployment overseas (sec. 580C) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5502) that would require that not later than 45 days prior to a general election for Federal office, a Voting Assistance Officer or other person designated by the secretary of the military department concerned, shall provide a member of the Armed Forces with a Federal write-in absentee ballot and instructions on the use of that ballot in the State in which the member is registered to vote. The provision also would require that in the case of a member intending to vote in a State that does not accept the Federal write-in absentee ballot as a simultaneous application and ballot for Federal elections, the member would be provided a briefing on, and an opportunity to fill out the official post-card form for absentee voter registration application and absentee ballot application prescribed in law. The provision concludes with a Sense of Congress relating to the use of the Federal write-in absentee ballot. The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 575) that would amend section 102(h) of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (52 U.S.C. 20302(h))to require a chief State election official, in coordination with local election jurisdictions, to establish and operate an absentee ballot tracking program for absentee uniformed voters and overseas citizen voters. The House recedes with an amendment that would require a Voting Assistance Officer or other person designated by the secretary of the military department concerned, to provide a Federal write-in ballot to a member of the Armed Forces, upon the request of that member. Further, in the case of a member intending to vote in a State that does not accept the Federal write-in absentee ballot as a simultaneous application and ballot, the member would be provided instructions on, and an opportunity to fill out, the official post-card form. The conferees urge the Federal government and State governments to remove all obstacles that would inhibit deployed servicemembers from voting. Further, the conferees strongly advocate that States that do not allow servicemembers to use the Federal write-in absentee ballot as a simultaneous application and acceptable ballot for Federal elections modify their laws to permit such use. Study on two-way military ballot barcode tracking (sec. 580D) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5503) that would require the Director of the Federal Voting Assistance Program of the Department of Defense to conduct a study on the feasibility of a pilot program providing full ballot tracking of overseas military absentee ballots through the mail stream in a manner similar to the 2016 Military Ballot Tracking Pilot Program. The provision would further require the Director to submit a report to Congress, not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, detailing the results of the feasibility study, together with an estimate of the costs of conducting a pilot, the organizations that would support the pilot, and the timeline for the phased implementation of the pilot program to all military personnel serving overseas.

Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-398). The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 580) that would authorize $40.0 million for the purpose of providing assistance to local educational agencies with military dependent students and $10.0 million for local educational agencies eligible to receive a payment for children with severe disabilities.

The Senate recedes with an amendment that would amend sections 481 and 481a of title 10, United States Code, to clarify that the term "assault", for purposes of questions posed on Armed Forces Workplace and Gender Relations Surveys and the Department of Defense Civilian Employee Workplace and Gender Relations Survey, respectively, should be defined to include "unwanted sexual contact." Inclusion of certain veterans on temporary disability or permanent disabled retirement lists in military adaptive sports programs (sec. 592) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5601) that would amend subsection (a)(1) of section 2564a of title 10, United States Code, to authorize inclusion of servicemembers, who are eligible to participate in military adaptive sports programs, and certain veterans on temporary disability or permanent disabled retirement lists in such programs. The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 599B). The conference agreement includes this provision. Questions in surveys regarding extremist activity in the workplace (sec. 593) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 594) that would require the Secretary of Defense to include in the workplace and equal opportunity, command climate, and workplace and gender relations surveys whether respondents had ever experienced supremacist activity, extremist activity, or racism in the workplace. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense to include in appropriate surveys questions about whether a respondent had experienced or witnessed extremist activity in the workplace, and whether the respondent had reported such activity to appropriate authorities. Study on best practices for providing financial literacy education for separating members of the Armed Forces (sec. 594) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 598) that would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to conduct a study on the best practices to provide financial literacy education for separating members of the Armed Forces and veterans. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is operating to conduct a study on the best practices to provide financial literacy education for separating members of the Armed Forces. The results of the study shall be reported to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Report on oversight of authorized strengths of certain grades of commissioned regular and reserve officers of the Armed Forces (sec. 595) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 501) that would amend section 523 of title 10, United States Code, to require the Congress to authorize annually the number of officers serving on Active Duty in the grades of major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps or lieutenant commander, commander, and captain in the Navy. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on alternative methods to improve the oversight of authorized strengths of commissioned regular and reserve officers of the Armed Forces. The conferees note the officer strength table was included as a fundamental feature of the Defense Officer Personnel Management Act (DOPMA) (Public Law 96–513). The table was designed to serve as an effective limitation on the number of mid-grade officers within each service. The House report to accompany the legislation (H. Rept. 96–1462) explained that the table would be adjusted over time to align with emerging officer manpower requirements. However, in practice, the authorized strength table is rarely updated and it is no longer linked to strategy or actual officer requirements. Report on certain waivers (sec. 596) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 597) that would require the Department of Defense to submit an initial report (within 120 days of the enactment of this Act) and an annual report for 2 years thereafter, to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, setting forth detailed information about the number of transgender applicants and serving transgender servicemembers who, in the prior calendar year, sought and received a waiver or exception to current Defense Department policy to permit their enlistment/accession or retention in the military. The reporting would require the Department to distinguish between waivers requested by “exempt” persons—applicants or servicemembers “grandfathered” under the policies for military service by transgender persons enacted in June 2016, and “nonexempt” persons—who are subject to the policy on transgender service that that took effect on April 12, 2019. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the data elements required to be included in the report and would clarify that any report submitted will not include Personally Identifiable Information or Protected Health Information. The conferees note that the new Department of Defense policy with regard to military service by transgender persons expressly asserts that "[t]ransgender persons may seek waivers or exceptions [to the standards established by DTM-19-004], or any other standards, requirements, or policies, on the same terms as any other person." As regards a transgender person's request for a waiver or exception to policy to permit that individual to serve in the military in other than his or her biological sex, the Secretaries of the Military Departments may delegate waiver authority no lower than a Military Service Personnel Chief. The conferees note that all other waiver authority vests in the regular Service-designated waiver authority, affording transgender persons consideration at the same level of decision-making as persons who are not transgender. In determining whether an applicant with a disqualifying diagnosis of gender dysphoria or history of gender transition treatment or surgery merits a waiver to permit his or her service in the military, the conferees encourage Service— designated waiver authorities to consider such a waiver under the same circumstances as they would for an applicant who is not transgender, but has been diagnosed with analogous conditions or received analogous treatments, presuming the individual meets all other standards for accession. Notifications on manning of afloat naval forces (sec. 597) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 518) that would amend section 525 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115–232) to make technical changes to congressional notifications germane to the manning of afloat naval forces. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would sunset such notifications in fiscal year 2025. Report regarding use of aerial systems of the Department of Defense to support agencies of States, Territories, and the Federal Government (sec. 598) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 514) that would direct the Secretary of Defense, within 90 days of enactment, to issue new guidance that treats the use of unmanned aircraft systems by the National Guard for covered activities in a manner no more restrictive than the use of other aircraft. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the Secretary of Defense, not later than 180 days after enactment of this Act, to provide a report on the requirements for, and policies and procedures governing the use of Department of Defense manned and unmanned aerial systems to support States, territories, and other Federal agencies. The conferees note that the Department of Defense provides resources, including unmanned and manned aerial systems, at the request of States, territories, and other Federal agencies for emergency operations, search and rescue operations, and Defense support to civil authorities. However, the conferees note that there is a lack of understanding on the policy, procedures, and overall availability of these resources to provide such requested support. Information for members of the Armed Forces on availability of services of the Department of Veterans Affairs relating to sexual trauma (sec. 599) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 745) that would require the Secretary of Defense to use available mechanisms to inform members of the Armed Forces of their eligibility for services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs. In particular, the Secretary would be required to ensure that Sexual Assault Response Coordinators and uniformed victim advocates of the Department of Defense advise members of the Armed Forces experiencing psychological trauma resulting from a physical assault of a sexual nature, battery of a sexual nature, or sexual harassment that occurred while serving on Active Duty, Active Duty for training, or inactive duty training, regarding their eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs counseling, care, and services. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. Authority to issue an honorary promotion to Colonel Charles E. McGee, United States Air Force (ret.), to the grade of brigadier general (sec. 599A) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 599) that would authorize the President to issue an honorary commission promoting, to brigadier general in the Air Force, Colonel Charles E. McGee, United States Air Force (retired), a distinguished Tuskegee Airman. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. Authority to issue an honorary and posthumous promotion to Lieutenant Colonel Richard Cole, United States Air Force (ret.), to the grade of colonel (sec. 599B) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 599A) that would authorize the honorary and posthumous promotion of Lieutenant Colonel Richard E. Cole, United States Air Force (retired), to the grade of colonel. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. Sense of Congress on the honorable and distinguished service of General Joseph F. Dunford, United States Marine Corps, to the United States (sec. 599C) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5504) that would express the sense of Congress as to the honorable and distinguished career of service to the United States of General Joseph F. Dunford, United States Marine Corps. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with a technical amendment. The conferees find that: (1) General Joseph F. Dunford was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps in 1977; (2) Since 1977, General Dunford has served as an infantry officer at all levels and has held numerous leadership roles, including Commander of the 5th Marine Regiment during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, Commander of the International Security Assistance Force and United States Forces-Afghanistan, and Commander, Marine Forces United States Central Command; (3) General Dunford served as the 32nd Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps from October 23, 2010, to December 15, 2012; (4) General Dunford subsequently served as the 36th Commandant of the Marine Corps from October 17, 2014, to September 24, 2015; (5) General Dunford became the highest-ranking military officer in the United States when he was appointed as the 19th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on October 1, 2015; (6) General Dunford is only the second United States Marine to hold the position of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; (7) During his nearly 4 years as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dunford effectively and honorably executed the duties of the office to the highest levels of honor and integrity; and (8) General Dunford has an extensive record of impeccable service to the United States. LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED Grade of Chief of Veterinary Corps of the Army The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 502) that would require that the grade of the Chief of the Veterinary Corps of the Army be a brigadier general. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Report on rate of maternal mortality among members of the Armed Forces The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 505) that would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is operating, when not operating under the Navy, to submit a report to Congress, within 180 days of the date of the enactment of this Act, on the rate of maternal mortality among members of the Armed Forces and their dependents. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that the Senate Report accompanying S. 1790 (S. Rept. 116-48) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 requires the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by February 1, 2020, reporting the rate and incidence of pregnancy-associated deaths, defined as the death of a woman while pregnant or during the 1year period following the date of the end of pregnancy, and severe maternal morbidities, defined as unintended outcomes of pregnancy, labor, or delivery that result in significant shortor long-term consequences to a woman's health. JROTC Computer Science and Cybersecurity Program The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 516) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to carry out a program to enhance the preparation of students in Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps for careers in computer science and cybersecurity. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that the United States in general, and the military in particular, currently struggle to find and produce sufficient numbers of Americans trained to succeed in computer science and cybersecurity careers. The Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corp, and programs like it, can serve as catalysts to overcoming these systemic shortages by providing an extra-curricular experience to young Americans who demonstrate a penchant for computer science and related subjects. The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to partner with other Federal, State, and local organizations in developing new programs to better prepare the nation’s youth for the workforce of the future. Sense of Congress regarding the National Guard Youth Challenge Program The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 519) that would express the sense of Congress that the National Guard Youth Challenge Program provides a vital service to at-risk youth and would encourage the Secretary of Defense to use the authority provided in section 519 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115– 232) to use equipment and facilities of the Department of Defense in this program. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees reiterate the importance of the National Guard Youth Challenge Program and good work the program accomplishes. Additionally, the conferees continue to encourage the Secretary of Defense to utilize authority provided by the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 to use Department of Defense equipment for the purpose of supporting the National Guard Youth Challenge. Report on expansion of the Close Airman Support team approach of the Air Force to the other Armed Forces The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 519) that would require a report on the expansion of the Close Airman Support team approach of the Air Force to the other Armed Forces. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees direct the Secretaries of the military departments to submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a joint report on the feasibility and advisability of expanding the Close Airman Support team approach employed by the Air Force for use by the other Military Services. National guard support to major disasters The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 520D) that would amend section 502 of title 32, United States Code, to authorize the Secretary concerned to order a member of the National Guard to perform duties related to operations or missions authorized by the President or the Secretary of Defense to respond to large scale, complex, and catastrophic disasters. The provision would also establish a permanent authorization of appropriations for sums necessary to carry out National Guard disaster response if a state of emergency has been declared by the respective Governor and the President of the United States. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Report regarding National Guard Youth Challenge Program The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 520F) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees regarding the resources and authorities the Secretary determines necessary to identify the effects on graduates of the National Guard Youth Challenge Program. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that section 509 of title 32, United States Code, already requires the Secretary of Defense to submit an annual report on the design, conduct, and effectiveness of the National Guard Youth Challenge Program. Temporary authority to use Air Force reserve component personnel to provide training and instruction regarding pilot training The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 520H) that would authorize the Secretary of the Air Force to utilize certain reserve component full time support personnel to provide pilot training to Active Duty servicemembers and foreign military personnel who are in the United States. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that reserve component full time support personnel are expressly provided by law to organize, administer, recruit, instruct, or train reserve component units and personnel. To provide an exception to this long-standing requirement would be to undermine the necessary distinction between the active and reserve components. Enactment and expansion of policy on withholding of initial disposition authority for certain offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 522) that would vest only in a commissioned officer in a grade not below O-6, who is authorized to convene special courts-martial, the authority to determine the disposition of specified offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (Chapter 47 of title 10, United States Code). Generally, if such an officer's disposition determination differs from the recommendation made by the officer's legal advisor, the matter would be referred to a Special Victim Prosecutor, Senior Trial Counsel, or Regional Trial Counsel not in the chain of command of the officer making the initial disposition determination for review and recommendation to a staff judge advocate in the chain of command. That staff judge advocate would advise the next superior commander, who would decide whether to endorse or supersede the initial disposition determination. The provision would require the training provided to commissioned officers in the grades of O-6 and above on the exercise of such disposition determination authority to include specific training on sexual harassment, sexual assault, and family abuse and domestic violence. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Advisory Committee on record and service review boards The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 523) that would establish a Defense Advisory Committee on Record and Upgrade Review Boards to advise the Secretary of Defense on the best structure, practices, and procedures to ensure consistency of the boards for correction of military records and service review boards in carrying out their responsibilities under chapter 79 of title 10, United States Code, and in granting relief to claimants under that chapter. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Prohibition on implementation of military service suitability determinations for foreign nationals who are lawful permanent residents The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 525) that would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from taking any action to implement the memorandum entitled ‘‘Military Service Suitability Determinations for Foreign Nationals Who Are Lawful Permanent Residents’’ until the Secretary submits a report on the justification for the policy changes made by that memorandum. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives, not later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act. The briefing shall include: (1) The number of lawful permanent residents (LPRs) who apply for military service; (2) The average length of the military service suitability determination process for LPRs, as detailed in the policy memorandum, measured in six month increments since the policy memorandum was implemented; (3) The number of LPRs who have not been deemed suitable for enlistment or accession into the military based on a matter identified during the process established by the memorandum; (4) A summary of the most common reasons underlying past determinations that an LPR is not suitable for military service; and (5) The Department's plans to improve and expedite the military service suitability determination process as it relates to LPRs.

The conferees look forward to receiving the Department’s report on this topic. Reenlistment waivers for persons separated from the Armed Forces who commit one misdemeanor cannabis offense The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 528) that would require the Secretary of Defense to prescribe regulations, within 90 days of the date of the enactment of this Act, that would permit any Secretary of a military department to grant a reenlistment waiver to an individual previously separated from the Armed Forces who has admitted to, or been convicted by a court of a single misdemeanor violation of a Federal or State law relating to the use or possession of cannabis, which violation occurred while that individual was not on Active Duty in the Armed Forces. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Recognition and honoring of service of individuals who served in United States Cadet Nurse Corps during World War II The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 530) that would require the Secretary of Defense to determine that the service of the organization known as the United States Cadet Nurse Corps during the period beginning on July 1, 1943, and ending on December 31, 1948, constitutes active military service. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Nondiscrimination with respect to service in the Armed Forces The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 530B) that would add section 651a to title 10, U.S. Code, to require the Department of Defense to consider only the ability of an individual to meet gender-neutral occupational standards for military service generally and the military occupational specialty concerned, in particular, in evaluating a candidate for enlistment/accession. The provision would further require that any personnel policy developed or implemented by the Department ensure equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the Armed Forces, without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, and sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation). Finally, the provision promulgates a definition of "gender identity." The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Report on mechanisms to enhance the integration and synchronization of activities of Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution personnel with activities of military criminal investigative organizations The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 536) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on mechanisms to enhance the integration and synchronization of activities of Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution personnel with activities of military criminal investigative organizations. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, within 180 days from the date of enactment of this Act, a briefing setting forth proposals to enhance the integration and synchronization of Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution personnel with the activities of military criminal investigative organizations in investigations in which both may be involved, together with any legislative and administrative actions required to implement those proposals. Pilot program on prosecution of special victim offenses committed by attendees of military service academies The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 538) that would require the Secretary of Defense to create and carry out a pilot program establishing an independent authority outside of the chain of command to review certain special victim offenses alleged to have been committed by military service academy cadets and midshipmen to determine whether such offenses should be referred to trial by a court-martial convening authority. This provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to establish an Office of the Chief Prosecutor within the Office of the Secretary of Defense, as part of the pilot program. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Standard of evidence applicable to investigations and reviews related to protected communications of members of the Armed Forces and prohibited retaliatory actions The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 541) that would amend section 1034 of title 10, United States Code, to allow a finding or other determination made under subsections (c), (d), (g), or (h), to be based on the standards of evidence specified in section 1221(e) of title 5, United States Code. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Repeal of 15-year statute of limitations on motions or requests for review of discharge or dismissal from the Armed Forces The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 546) that would eliminate the 15-year statute of limitations on requests by or on behalf of a former servicemember for review by a discharge review board of the member’s discharge or dismissal from the Armed Forces. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Consultation regarding victim's preference in prosecution jurisdiction The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 547) that would require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, to issue guidance to ensure that a sexual assault victim's preference for prosecution jurisdiction is recorded. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Safe to Report policy applicable across the Armed Forces The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 527) that would require the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the secretaries of the military departments and the Secretary of Homeland Security, to prescribe a Safe to Report policy applicable to all members of the Armed Forces, across both active and reserve components, and to cadets and midshipmen at the military service academies. A Safe to Report policy is one in which a victim of sexual assault who may have committed minor collateral misconduct at or about the time of the assault, or whose minor collateral misconduct is discovered only as the result of the investigation of the sexual assault, may report the assault to authorities without fear of discipline, except in cases in which aggravating circumstances increase the gravity of the minor collateral misconduct or its impact on military good order and discipline. The provision would define minor collateral misconduct as including: (1) Improper use and possession of alcohol; (2) Consensual intimate behavior, including adultery or fraternization; (3) Presence in off-limits areas; and (4) Other misconduct specified in the regulations promulgated. The provision would further require that the regulations promulgated by the Secretary specify the aggravating circumstances that would increase the gravity of minor collateral misconduct or its impact on good order and discipline. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 550). The Senate and House recede. Preliminary inquiry on Arlington National Cemetery burial The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 550E) that would require the Department of the Army's General Counsel to conduct a preliminary inquiry to investigate the burial of Jack Edward Dunlap at Arlington National Cemetery due to accusations that Mr. Dunlap supplied the Soviet Union with intelligence during the Cold War.

The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Strengthening civilian and military partnerships to respond to domestic and sexual violence The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 550L) that would require the Comptroller General of the United States to submit to Congress a report on partnerships between military installations and civilian domestic and sexual violence response organizations. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that page 126 of the House Report 116120, accompanying H.R. 2500, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, directs the Comptroller General of the United States to assess and report on the military services' domestic violence prevention and response programs. The conferees request that the Comptroller General expand this assessment to include a review of partnerships between military installations and civilian domestic and sexual violence response organizations, the scope of services and support provided via such partnerships, and their role in a coordinated community response to domestic and sexual violence in military families. Education of Members of the Armed Forces on Career Readiness and Professional Development The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 552) that would require the Secretary of Defense to carry out a program to provide education on career readiness and professional development to members of the Armed Forces. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that the military already provides numerous opportunities for servicemembers to receive information on career readiness and professional development. The Department of Defense should continue to ensure that all servicemembers are provided opportunities to translate their military experience into civilian education and certifications wherever possible. Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 553) that would amend section 2168 of title 10, United States Code, to permit the Defense Language Institute to confer Bachelor degrees, in addition to Associate degrees, to graduates that meet the appropriate requirements for that degree. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Liberal consideration of evidence in certain claims by boards for the correction of military records and discharge review boards The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 553) that would require military department boards for the correction of military records and discharge review boards to review all claims relating to a claimant’s discharge or dismissal, or the characterization of that discharge or dismissal, with liberal consideration of all evidence and information presented by or on behalf of the former servicemember. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees encourage the military department boards for the correction of military or naval records to apply their powers of equity broadly to redress injustices in the military records of a servicemember or former member, and in appropriate cases--as authorized by law or established in board precedent-to accord liberal consideration to the evidence and information presented by or on behalf of the member or former member. In the view of the conferees, such liberal consideration is particularly warranted in cases in which official military records pertinent to the member's application for relief have been destroyed or are otherwise unavailable, through no fault of the member. Expansion of Department of Defense STARBASE Program The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 554) that would amend section 2193b of title 10, United States Code, to expand the Starbase program by including art and design as technical fields for education of elementary and secondary children under the program.

The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that the Services already have the authority to ensure qualified military service academy applicants who do not receive an offer of admission are able to receive a scholarship through the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC). The Secretaries of the military departments are encouraged to develop creative policies to ensure that those young Americans who have demonstrated their propensity to serve in the military by applying to a service academy are able to qualify for and access ROTC scholarships. Survey of members of the Armed Forces on their experiences with military investigations and military justice The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 558) that would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a periodic survey—at least once every 4 years but not more frequently than once every 2 years—to be known as the Military Investigation and Justice Experience Survey, on the experience of members of the Armed Forces with military investigations and military justice. Those surveyed would include members of the Armed Forces who are victims of an alleged sex-related offense and who made an unrestricted report of that offense. Participants would be surveyed on their experience with a Special Victims’ Counsel/Victims' Legal Counsel and, if charges in the victim’s case were referred to court-martial, with the prosecutor and the court-martial in general. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note that the Department already has implemented a Military Investigation and Justice Experience Survey, and encourage the Department to continue to enhance this survey; to monitor trends revealed by survey responses and data over time; as appropriate, to take action to improve military investigations, the Special Victims' Counsel/Victims' Legal Counsel programs, and prosecution processes to address matters raised by survey responses and data; and to include information and insights derived from the survey, when salient, in future briefings and reports to the Congress. Safe-to-Report policy applicable to military service academies The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 560A) that would require the Secretary of Defense to publish regulations for the implementation of a Safe-to-Report policy, which would allow the victims of an alleged sexual assault at the United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy, United States Air Force Academy, and the United States Coast Guard Academy, who may have committed minor collateral misconduct, an opportunity to report an occurrence of sexual assault without fear of discipline for that misconduct. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Recoupment of funds from cadets and midshipmen separated for criminal misconduct The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 560B) that would direct the secretary of each military department to prescribe regulations to require the Superintendent of a military service academy to recoup the costs of advanced education received by a cadet or midshipman who is separated from the Academy for reasons of criminal misconduct, at any time prior to graduation. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that in accordance with section 2005 of title 10, United States Code, and section 303a(e) of title 37 of the Code, the secretaries of the military departments already are vested with authority to recoup the costs of advanced education at a military service academy from a cadet who is separated from the academy prior to graduation. As appropriate, the conferees encourage the secretaries of the military departments to require cadets and midshipmen separated from a military service academy for criminal misconduct to repay the costs of their advanced education, even if the cadet or midshipman is separated prior to having completed 2 years of schooling. Support of military service academy foundations The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 560D) that would amend chapter 155 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize service secretaries to provide support to certain nonprofit fundraising foundations that operate exclusively to support military service academies. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that the primary funding source for military service academies remains appropriated Federal dollars. Each academy currently receives significant additional support from several dedicated non-profit organizations. While academy superintendents may be formally prohibited from engaging in fundraising on behalf of these private organizations, that restriction helps to maintain a healthy separation between the federally funded military institution and private organizations that are not subject to Federal oversight. The conferees are encouraged that the current arrangement between the academies and their non-profit fundraising foundations has resulted recently in each academy opening new, privately funded, facilities for cadet and midshipmen athletics, character development, and cyber education.

The House amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note that section 2007 of title 10, United States Code, requires officers who accept tuition assistance to remain on Active Duty for a period of at least two years after the completion of the education for which tuition assistance was used. In fiscal year 2018, the Department of Defense provided tuition assistance to approximately 15,000 Active Duty commissioned officers at a cost of almost $31 million. According to the Government Accountability Office, around 10 percent of Army and Navy officers who last used tuition in 2017 are now separated from the military. The median number of years served after these officer’s last use of tuition assistance was 1.6 years for Army officers and only 1.2 years for Navy officers. These statistics suggest that tuition assistance may not be serving one of its intended purposes, which is to provide a valuable benefit in exchange for continued military service. Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense in consultation with the secretaries of the military departments to conduct an analysis of the officer voluntary tuition assistance program. The analysis should include: (1)An evaluation of whether the tuition assistance program is serving as a retention tool; (2) A discussion of the merits of lengthening or requiring active duty service obligations incurred as a result of accepting tuition assistance be served consecutively with other service commitments; and (3) An assessment of whether those officers who receive a fully funded bachelor’s degree through their commissioning source should be eligible to receive voluntary tuition assistance funding prior to the completion of their initial Active Duty service obligation. The results of this analysis shall be submitted to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives by April 1, 2020.

The House recedes with an amendment that would require the Secretary to maintain mandated patron savings when procuring locally sourced products for commissaries. GAO review of defense resale optimization study (sec. 633) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 631) that would require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a review of the business case analysis performed as part of the defense resale optimization study conducted by the Reform Management Group, titled "Study to Determine the Feasibility of Consolidation of the Defense Resale Entities" and dated December 4, 2018. The Comptroller General would submit a report by April 1, 2020, to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The provision would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from taking any action to consolidate military exchanges and commissaries until such committees notify the Secretary in writing of receipt and acceptance of the findings of the Comptroller General in the reports required under this provision.

The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. Report on implementation of contributions to the Department of Defense Military Retirement Fund based on pay costs per Armed Force rather than on Armed Forces-wide basis (sec. 655) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 631) that would amend section 1465 of title 10, United States Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to make contributions to the Military Retirement Fund based on an actuarial calculation of each service’s planned pension obligations, beginning with fiscal year 2021. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would require the Secretary of Defense to deliver a report to the congressional defense committees detailing an implementation plan for the Senate-passed provision that would require service-specific contributions to the Military Retirement Fund. The conferees note that requiring service-specific contributions to the Military Retirement Fund will provide valuable insight into the true costs of each military department’s manpower. The current system of Military Retirement Fund contributions produces a disparity between the services. Those services with fewer personnel who reach full retirement eligibility, like the Marine Corps, contribute more to the Military Retirement Fund than needed to pay for retired marines’ pensions. Meanwhile, those services that have larger numbers of personnel who reach full retirement eligibility, like the Air Force, effectively receive a discount on their Military Retirement Fund contributions. As each service updates its overall force profile to support the National Defense Strategy and implements other reforms, like those to the Blended Retirement System, the conferees believe it is critical that senior leaders in the DOD accurately account for the fully-burdened life-cycle cost of each service’s manpower plans. Report on food insecurity among members of the Armed Forces and their dependents (sec. 656) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 602) that would amend section 402 of title 37, United States Code, to authorize the Secretary of Defense to pay a basic needs allowance to a qualified servicemember.

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED Basic allowance for housing for a member without dependents when relocation would financially disadvantage the member The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 604) that would allow the Secretaries of the military departments discretionary authority to authorize a housing allowance based on the old homeport or permanent duty station for single members disadvantaged as a result of a unit’s change of homeport or permanent duty station, as long as the member had orders returning to the previous homeport or duty station. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note, in general, the Navy plans ship homeport changes well in advance of the actual relocation occurring. In the same way, the Navy should also plan personnel movements related to homeport changes well in advance in order to minimize disruption to sailors. The conferees note that current law does not require Basic Allowance for Housing be based on a ship’s homeport, and would encourage the Navy to work with the Department of Defense to develop a policy solution that provides the necessary authority. Annual adjustment of basic pay The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 607) that would require the adjustment in rates of monthly basic pay required by subsection (a) of section 1009 of title 37, United States Code, to take effect, notwithstanding any determination made by the President. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Space-available travel on military aircraft for children and surviving spouses of members who die of hostile action or training duty The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 626) that would amend section 2641 of title 10, United States Code, to allow children meeting certain requirements and surviving spouses of members of the Armed Forces who die as a result of hostile action or training duty to use space-available travel. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that section 2641b of title 10, United States Code, authorizes the space-available travel program and provides the Secretary of Defense with the ability to extend eligibility for the program to any category of individual the Secretary considers appropriate. The conferees believe that space-available travel privileges should be extended to spouses and children of servicemembers who die in combat, if there is no impact on readiness or on the priority appropriately afforded to members of the armed forces on active duty and their families, in recognition of the demands of active military service and the need for respite from such demands. Accordingly, the conferees direct the Secretary to report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by no later than March 1, 2020, on the scope of the population described in section 626 of the House bill, the obstacles in providing this population with space-available privileges, and whether an extension of this benefit to such population would interfere with the use of space-available travel by active duty members and their families, particularly on the most traveled routes.

Under this provision, each regional hub would include a major military medical center to provide complex, specialized medical services in that region. The regional medical center would be geographically located to maximize medical support to combatant commands. The provision would authorize the Secretary to establish or maintain additional medical centers in locations with large beneficiary populations or locations that serve as the primary readiness platforms of the Armed Forces. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Monitoring of adverse event data on dietary supplement use by members of the Armed Forces The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 716) that would require the Secretary of Defense to modify the Department's electronic health record (EHR) system to include data regarding use of dietary supplements by members of the Armed Forces and any adverse events associated with such use. The provision would also require the Secretary to educate healthcare providers in the military health system on the importance of including adverse event data in the EHR and reporting those data to the Food and Drug Administration.

Study on extending parent's level of TRICARE health coverage to newborn child The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 730) that would require the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study on extending a parent's level of TRICARE coverage to the newborn child of the parent and to submit a report on the study to the congressional defense committees within 120 days of the date of the enactment of this Act. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Report on mental health assessments The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 732) that would require the Comptroller General of the United States to submit to the Committees on Armed Services and Veterans Affairs of the Senate and the House of Representatives, within 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, a publicly available report on the Department of Defense's implementation of section 1074n of title 10, United States Code. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note the January 11, 2019, receipt of the Department of Defense's annual report on mental health assessments required by section 701 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. "Buck" McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). In that report, the Department described the tools and processes used to provide annual mental health assessments and also provided certain recommendations to improve monitoring and reporting the number of servicemembers: (1) Who receive mental health assessments; (2) Who get referrals for mental health care; and (3) Who receive care from those referrals. The conferees anticipate receipt and review of the annual report in 2020 to understand how the Department has implemented its recommendations provided in the 2019 report. Study and report on mental health assessments for members of the Armed Forces deployed in support of a contingency operation The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 733) that would require the service secretaries to conduct a study on mental health assessments provided to servicemembers deployed in connection with a contingency operation and to submit a report containing the results of the study to the congressional defense committees within 180 days of the date of the enactment of this Act. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees stress the importance of providing mental health assessments to servicemembers in accordance with section 1074m of title 10, United States Code, and direct the service secretaries to ensure accomplishment of those assessments for those servicemembers. Additionally, the conferees expect that all servicemembers demonstrating mental health signs or symptoms will receive rapid referral for evaluation and treatment by the appropriate mental health providers. Education on family planning for members of the Armed Forces The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 734) that would require the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is operating, to establish a uniform standard curriculum for servicemembers' family planning education programs within 1 year of the date of the enactment of this Act. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes.

The study would include an analysis to determine how the contractual approach to manage military health care drug shortages could serve as a model for responding to drug shortages in the civilian health care market. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Update of Department of Defense regulations, instructions, and other guidance to include gambling disorder The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 740) that would require the Secretary of Defense, within 180 days of the date of the enactment of this Act, to consult with the service secretaries and update all regulations, instructions, and other guidance of the Department with respect to behavioral health to explicitly include gambling disorder. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note the requirement in section 733 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) for the Secretary of Defense to incorporate medical screening questions related to gambling disorder in periodic health assessments and surveys of military personnel. With this requirement, the Secretary must submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on the findings of the assessments or surveys in connection with the prevalence of gambling disorder among servicemembers. Until the committees receive this report, the conferees believe it is premature to require updates to the Department's regulations, instructions, or other guidance on gambling disorder.

Training on health effects of burn pits and other airborne hazards The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 748) that would require the Secretary of Defense to provide mandatory training to all medical providers in the Department on the potential health effects of burn pits and other airborne hazards and the early detection of those effects. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees remain concerned regarding the negative health effects to servicemembers from exposure to burn pits and other airborne hazards. The conferees encourage the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to develop jointly a clinical practice guideline on exposure to airborne environmental hazards, which would optimize patient care to servicemembers and veterans exposed to such hazards. Report on operational medical and dental personnel requirements The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 749) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees, not later than January 1, 2021, on the operational medical and dental personnel requirements of the Department.

The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. TITLE VIII—ACQUISITION POLICY, ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT, AND RELATED MATTERS SUBTITLE A—ACQUISITION POLICY AND MANAGEMENT Authority for continuous integration and delivery of software applications and upgrades to embedded systems (sec. 800) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 852) that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish initial guidance, not later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act, authorizing the use of special pathways for the rapid acquisition of software applications and upgrades that are intended to be fielded within 1 year. These new pathways would prioritize continuous integration and delivery of working software in a secure manner and prioritize continuous oversight from automated analytics. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 801). The House recedes with amendments that would modify the timeline for developing the guidance; allow for the use of one or more pathways; clarify that first fielding of capability for operational use shall occur within one year of the date funds are first obligated for software development; and direct a report on use of the authority and recommendations for any changes to statute by October 15, 2020. The conferees commend the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment’s commitment to adopting the recommendations of the Defense Innovation Board. The conferees emphasize that the ability to deliver meaningful capability for operational use within one year is foundational to the establishment of this authority and associated procedures. The conferees remind the Department that delivery of increments of useful software capability no less frequently than every six months is not only a best practice for software-intensive systems but it has also been a standing government-wide requirement for years. Overcoming the Department’s institutional and cultural resistance to delivering in a year or less requires ruthless prioritization of features, which hinges on more effective cooperation among stakeholders. The conferees also believe that cost estimation and assessment and program evaluation methods are critical to well-informed program oversight, and note that, for software initiatives, such approaches remain nascent. The conferees therefore direct the Director, Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation, in coordination with the Defense Digital Service and the directors of developmental test and operational test and evaluation, to incorporate lessons learned from the implementation of sections 873 and 874 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, and sections 215 and 869 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 in the development of guidance and oversight procedures for managing, estimating, and assessing software programs. First, the conferees remind the Department of flexibility already written into its directive and instruction that the milestone decision authority and program managers “shall tailor program strategies and oversight, including documentation of program information, acquisition phases, the timing and scope of decision reviews, and decision levels, to fit the particular conditions of that program, consistent with applicable laws and regulations and the time sensitivity of the capability need.” Accordingly, the conferees also remind the Department that the use of source lines of code, or “SLOC”, to estimate or to measure productivity, is inadequate, inappropriate, and can be detrimental in incentivizing bad code design. As such, the conferees encourage the Department to implement the recommendations on software metrics in the Defense Innovation Board Software Acquisition and Practices Study. Finally, the conferees request a briefing no later than March 30, 2020 from the Joint Staff on how the JCIDS process can be updated to accommodate more flexibility given the iterative and ever-changing nature of present-day acquisition of software. Pilot program on intellectual property evaluation for acquisition programs (sec. 801) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 801) that would permit the Secretary of Defense and the Secretaries of the military departments to jointly carry out a pilot program to assess mechanisms to evaluate intellectual property in acquisition programs. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 861(b)). The House recedes with an amendment which clarifies the selection of programs and activities to be carried out under the pilot. Pilot program to use alpha contracting teams for complex requirements (sec. 802) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 802) that would require the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program to use third-party industry, academia, or not-for-profit technical organizations as part of alpha contracting teams for complex technical requirements for services. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that this construct revives in a modern context the “alpha contracting” concept that is more than a decade old. Further, it brings together all government personnel involved in the functions that support acquisition actions, to include contracting staff as well as technical staff, operators, and cost personnel. This is intended to ensure that technical requirements are appropriately valued and that the most effective acquisition strategy to achieve these requirements is identified. Failure to provide other than certified cost or pricing data upon request (sec. 803) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 803) that would modify section 2306a of title 10, United States Code, to revise the conditions under which the Department of Defense requires offerors to provide certain data. Specifically, in a case where the head of contracting activity determines the Department is the only buyer of certain commercial items, it introduces a new requirement for those offerors to provide cost or pricing data. Further, in a case where the Department of Defense is determining whether a sole-source offeror’s price is reasonable, the provision would direct the Secretary of Defense to require that offeror to provide other than certified cost or pricing data. The provision would further direct the Defense Contract Management Agency to propose which commercial products require should-cost analysis before award. The House amendment contained a another provision (sec. 804) that would modify section 2306a(c) of title 10, United States Code, and section 3504 of title 41, United States Code, to give contracting officers, instead of the head of the procuring activity, the discretion to request certified cost or pricing data in cases where, although not required, the contracting officer deems it necessary to determine price reasonableness. The provision would further add commercial items to the list of products where contracting officers may request such data. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would combine the two provisions, to instead modify section 2306a(d) of title 10, United States Code, to specify that offerors who do not make a good faith effort to comply with a contracting officer’s reasonable requests for data other than certified cost or pricing data are ineligible for award. The amendment would also direct contracting officers, when determining whether an offeror’s price is fair and reasonable, to not base that assessment solely on the historical prices paid by the government. The amendment would further add a requirement for the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to identify and report those offerors who denied multiple such requests and nonetheless received awards, as part of assessing whether to conduct should-cost analysis on such products in the future. Comptroller General report on price reasonableness (sec. 804) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 805) that would require the Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report not later than March 31, 2021, to the congressional defense committees, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on the efforts of the Department of Defense to obtain cost and pricing data for sole source contracts for spare parts. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. Limitation on transfer of funds related to cost overruns and cost underruns (sec. 805) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 814) that would repeal an annual requirement for the Secretary of each military department to pay penalties for cost overruns on major defense acquisition programs, which were then credited to the Rapid Prototyping Fund. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would make the repeal effective beginning in fiscal year 2020. Standardizing data collection and reporting on use of source selection procedures by Federal agencies (sec. 806) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 829) that would amend section 813 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) and section 880 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) to repeal the requirements for the Comptroller General of the United States to provide annual reports on the government’s use of lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures. The provision would also require revising the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) to capture more data on the use of lowest price technically acceptable procedures. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Department of Defense use of fixed-price contracts (sec. 807) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 806) that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to review how the Department of Defense uses fixedprice contracts, including fixed-price incentive contracts, to support acquisition objectives and brief the congressional defense committees not later than February 1, 2020. The provision would further require the Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report on the Department's use of fixed-price contracts over time no later than February 1, 2021. This provision would also delay the implementation of regulations requiring the use of fixed-price contracts for foreign military sales until after 2020. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Repeal of continuation of data rights during challenges (sec. 808) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 812) that would repeal section 866 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115–232), pertaining to revisions of authority for the government to use non-commercial technical data during a period of challenge, in an agency Board of Contract Appeals, or the U.S. Court of Federal Claims under certain circumstances. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees understand that the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment is working with industry to address possible policy modifications related to technical data rights and their disposition during challenges. The conferees encourage the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to continue these engagements and keep the Congress informed of progress with respect to these matters. Repeal of authority to waive acquisition laws to acquire vital national security capabilities (sec. 809) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 813) that would repeal section 806 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114–92), which allowed the Secretary of Defense to waive any provision of acquisition law or regulation in certain circumstances. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees note that the Department did not use the waiver. Repeal of the Defense Cost Accounting Standards Board (sec. 810) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 834) that would repeal section 190 of title 10, United States Code. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. SUBTITLE B—AMENDMENTS TO GENERAL CONTRACTING AUTHORITIES, PROCEDURES, AND LIMITATIONS Modification of Director of Operational Test and Evaluation report (sec. 815) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 805) that would amend section 139(h) of title 10, United States Code, to require the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation to solicit comments from the Secretaries of the military departments for inclusion in the Director’s annual report to Congress, retaining the Director’s discretion to issue the report without comments if they are not timely. This provision does not change or alter any Director of Operational Test and Evaluation authorities. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 252) that would amend section 139(h) of title 10, United States Code, to change the sunset date pertaining to the same annual report. The House recedes with an amendment that would extend the sunset date through January 31, 2025. Modification of written approval requirement for task and delivery order single contract awards (sec. 816) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 803) that would amend section 2304a(d)(3) of title 10, United States Code, to eliminate the requirement that single award task or delivery order contracts over $100.0 million receive additional approval when already authorized under one of the exceptions to full and open competition. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Responsibility for data analysis and requirements validation for services contracts (sec. 817) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 825) that would amend section 2329 of title 10, United States Code, to specify that the Secretary of Defense act through the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation to annually collect data on the amount contracted for services procured by the Department of Defense, which would be included in the Future Years Defense Program submitted to Congress. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. The conferees note that Senate Report 116-48 accompanying S. 1790 directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Chief Management Officer, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, and the Secretaries of the military departments, to identify updated approaches for overseeing service contracts and address how these will support the oversight, data analytics, and outcome measures specified in section 2329 of title 10, United States Code. The Senate Report further directs the Department to leverage the expertise of the Chief Data Officer, to ensure that the approaches identified align with and support the Department’s analytic capabilities. The conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation to coordinate with the parties identified as they carry out the efforts specified in Senate Report 116-48. Documentation of market research related to commercial item determinations (sec. 818) The Senate bill contained two provisions (sec. 809 and sec. 5802) that would amend section 2377(c) of title 10, United States Code, and section 3307(d) of title 41, United States Code, respectively, to require that market research for commercial products and services be documented in a manner appropriate to the size and complexity of the acquisition.

The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would revise section 873 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-323) to extend the requirement to 2023 and require data on the use of other transactions are accessible to any official designated by the Secretary of Defense. Notification of Navy procurement production disruptions (sec. 820) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 861) that would require the Secretary of the Navy to require prime contractors of any Navy procurement program to report, within 15 calendar days of any contractor or subcontractor stop work order or within 15 days of a contractor or subcontractor manufacturing disruption that has lasted 15 calendar days, to the respective program manager and Navy technical authority. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would limit such notifications to programs procured with funds from the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy and Other Procurement, Navy accounts.

The conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to brief the congressional defense committees not later than May 1, 2020, on the acquisition programs selected for the pilot program, the associated action plans and timelines for each program, and the manner in which each program conforms to the required elements of the pilot program. Analysis of alternatives pursuant to materiel development decisions (sec. 832) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5803) that would require updated guidance for analyses of alternatives conducted pursuant to a materiel development decision for a major defense acquisition program, to include requiring that studies are completed within nine months; establishing procedures to waive this requirement on a case-by-case basis; and reporting late studies or the use of the waiver to congressional defense committees. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to assess how the Department conducts analyses of alternatives. Naval vessel certification required before Milestone B approval (sec. 833) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 821) that would require a certification of compliance with section 8669b of title 10, United States Code, for naval vessel programs prior to Milestone B approval. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. SUBTITLE D—PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE ACQUISITION SYSTEM Extramural acquisition innovation and research activities (sec. 835) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 861(l)) that would amend chapter 97 of title 10, United States Code, to establish an academic center for acquisition innovation at the Naval Postgraduate School to provide decision-makers with academic analyses and policy alternatives for innovating the defense acquisition system. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the Secretary of Defense to establish extramural acquisition innovation and research activities to include an acquisition research organization within a non-Federal civilian university or college, to provide and maintain essential research and development capabilities through a long-term, strategic relationship with the Department of Defense. Report on realignment of the defense acquisition system to implement acquisition reforms (sec. 836) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 822) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the committee on lessons learned through the use of the authority provided under section 804 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (10 U.S.C. 2302 note) commonly known as “Middle-Tier of Acquisition,” to include certain risks and how the lessons are applicable to procedures for acquiring major defense acquisition programs. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with amendments that instead require the Secretary of Defense to report on ongoing efforts to realign the whole Defense Acquisition System in response to recent reforms – through changes to the 5000 series of directives, instructions, guidance and procedures and to address certain elements in the report. The conferees appreciate the careful consideration the Department is giving to implementing the acquisition reforms legislated through these Acts over the last five years. In doing so, the conferees note that the Department of Defense can no longer afford to use cost, schedule, and performance thresholds as simple proxies for risk when designating the path an acquisition program travels through the Defense Acquisition System, and in organizing how programs are managed and overseen. Exclusive attention to cost, schedule, and performance of major defense acquisition programs and other development programs obscures a myriad of other risks in programs large and small, any one of which could be single points of failure for successful acquisition. Such risks include: technical risks such as engineering, software, manufacturing and testing; integration and interoperability risks – complicated by the implications of systems working across multiple domains while using machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities to continuously change and optimize system performance; operations and sustainment risks – mediated by access to technical data and intellectual property rights; workforce and training risks - to include consideration of the role of contractors as part of the total workforce; and supply chain risks - to include cybersecurity, foreign control and ownership of key elements of supply chains, and the consequences a fragile and weakening defense industrial base, combined with barriers to industrial cooperation with allies and partners pose for delivering systems and technologies in a trusted and assured manner. Finally, the Secretary’s report under this section should look ahead to consider the implications of these changes for the acquisition of non-developmental items and the implications of the shift in acquisition of capabilities through development, to acquisition of capabilities “as-a-service”. Based on the Secretary’s report under this section, and given the important role of the Comptroller General’s annual weapons assessment in enabling the congressional defense committees’ detailed oversight of the Defense Acquisition System, the conferees also direct the Comptroller General of the United States to brief the committees on how the Department’s efforts are informing the refresh of that annual report as directed under section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019. Report and limitation on the availability of funds relating to the ‘‘middle tier’’ of acquisition programs (sec. 837) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 821) that would amend section 804 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114–92) to direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation, the Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation, and the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering have access to certain data on acquisitions carried out under the authority, and would limit use of the authority to programs below the major defense acquisition threshold unless the Secretary were to issue a waiver. The House amendment also contained a provision (sec. 861(f)) that would direct the Secretary to submit a report that would include the guidance required by section 804 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114–92) and, would limit the Department’s ability to obligate or expend funds on Middle Tier programs until that report is submitted. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with amendments that would strike the provision amending section 804, and, relating to the report and guidance, would expand the limitation of funds beyond acquisition programs, to the organizations which are parties to the disagreements that are preventing the guidance from being finalized. The conferees believe the difficulty the Department has faced in reaching agreement illustrates the tension of balancing empowered execution by the Services with appropriate oversight by the Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation, the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation, and the Under Secretaries of Defense for Research and Engineering and for Acquisition and Sustainment, as well as Congressional oversight. To address the latter, the conferees direct the Defense Acquisition Executive and the Service Acquisition Executives to notify the congressional defense committees within 30 days of a decision to designate a program to use the authority provided for under section 804 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114–92). The conferees note the inability of the parties to reach agreement on the use of this authority threatens the momentum of the very initiatives that would most benefit from it. The conferees encourage the parties to focus immediately on the most critical issues, bring them to resolution, and publish the guidance required by section 804. Report on intellectual property policy and the cadre of intellectual property experts (sec. 838) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 861(d)) that would amend section 802 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91; 131 Stat. 1450) by requiring the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, to submit a report on activities to implement section 2322 of title 10, United States Code, to include the composition and plans for the cadre, and the policy on the acquisition or licensing of intellectual property required. The provision would also limit the funds the Department may obligate or expend until the report is submitted. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a an amendment that would require that the report include a description of the specific activities performed, and the programs and efforts supported by, the cadre of intellectual property experts and would change the Department of Defense offices subject to limitation of funds. Guidance and reports relating to covered defense business systems (sec. 839) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 861(a)) that would amend section 2222(d) of title 10, United States Code, to require that guidance developed by the Department of Defense for defense business systems includes policies to ensure compliance with auditability requirements and approvals. The provision would also establish due dates to provide guidance related to covered defense business systems, as well as due dates to provide the Department’s information technology enterprise architecture and related integration plans and schedules. The provision would also limit the availability of funds until such guidance, architecture and plans are provided. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the limitation on funds and combine the reporting requirements for the information technology enterprise architecture. Implementation guidance for use of a modular open system approach (sec. 840) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 861(c)) that would require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Director of Cost Assessment and Performance Evaluation, to submit to the congressional defense committees a report that includes the study guidance required under section 2446b(b) of title 10, United States Code, and would limit funding available if the report is not provided by the end of 2019. The provision would also modify section 2446c of title 10, United States Code, to require a policy on the support for the acquisition for modular open system approaches (MOSA). The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would instead modify section 2446b of title 10, United States Code, to direct the Secretaries of the military departments to develop implementing guidance for the requirements to address MOSA, and as well would amend section 2446c of title 10, United States Code, to direct the Secretaries of the military departments to develop policies relating to the availability of major system interfaces and support for MOSA. The conferees note the importance of policies in implementing MOSA to the fullest extent. Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretaries of the military departments to submit a report to the congressional defense committee by March 15, 2020, that includes the implementation guidance required under section 2446b of title 10 and section 2446c of title 10. Furthermore, the conferees note that MOSA should go beyond the ability to exchange information broadly through the adoption of standards. Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretaries of the military departments to include in their policy a description of the goals and anticipated benefits of MOSA, with respect to maintaining and enhancing competition across the life-cycle of systems and programs; enabling systems to be more easily upgraded over their lifetimes; more easily modifying or replacing components and modules without the risk of adversely affecting software or the functioning of other components and modules; achieving interoperability among a wide range of systems, and thereby enabling the creation of novel cross-domain and cross-service kill chains. Limitation on availability of funds for the Office of the Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense (sec. 841) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 861(e)) that would limit the fiscal year 2020 funds that may be obligated or expended for the Office of the Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense until the date on which the Chief Management Officer submits either a certification of cost savings or the notice and justification described in Section 921(b)(5) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. SUBTITLE E—INDUSTRIAL BASE MATTERS Modernization of acquisition processes to ensure integrity of industrial base (sec. 845) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 831) that would require the Secretary of Defense to modernize mitigation of risks to the integrity of the supply chain, to include those cited in recent studies on the defense industrial base. The House amendment contained similar provisions (secs. 853, 855, and 892). The House recedes with amendments that would establish the requirement for the framework in statute under section 2506 of title 10, United States Code; add certain systems to a list of those being assessed; and provide further detail on phased implementation and reporting on the framework. The conferees note that contracting is the mechanism by which the Department of Defense operationalizes its relationship with the defense industrial base/national security innovation base. The conferees further note that the Department’s ability to maintain awareness of the sources of procured items or materials, including the degree to which the sources are foreign or domestic, are critical elements for understanding supply chain risks. This is particularly the case for items used in critical programs such as major defense acquisition programs. The conferees believe that certain risks to the defense industrial base are not being appropriately considered. These include but are not limited to risks associated with: insufficient insight into ownership structures, fragile sources of supply, and cybersecurity concerns, as well as contractors' violations of law pertaining to fraud, human trafficking, and worker health and safety. The conferees further note that, even where risks may be a high priority, the existing acquisition processes and procedures are not effective or timely in mitigating such risks. As such, the provision would require the Department to rigorously optimize the policy, processes, and procedures throughout the contracting life cycle, beginning with market research, responsibility determination, technical evaluation/award, mobilization, contract administration, contract management and oversight (to include contractor business systems reviews), and contract audit for closeout. It is critical that this optimization incorporate modern sources of data and methods to conduct appropriate and continuous risk assessment for contractors doing business with DOD. The provision would also require the Comptroller General of the United States to coordinate individual reviews in these risk areas, report on them collectively, and begin annual reviews of the Department's progress in this area. Report requirements for the national technology and industrial base (sec. 846) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 861(k)) that would amend section 2501(a) of title 10, United States Code, to establish a deadline for the Secretary of Defense to submit an already-required strategy to Congress after the submission of the national security strategy report required under section 108 of the National Security Act of 1947. The provision would also modify section 2504(3) of title 10, United States Code, to require that the Department’s annual report to Congress on the national technology and industrial base include a prioritized list of gaps and vulnerabilities within the base. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that clarifies requirements for the annual report to Congress, and that adds a requirement to submit unfunded priorities for the national technology and industrial base, ten days after the annual budget is submitted to Congress. The conferees note that the national security strategy developed by the United States for the national technology and industrial base should leverage an analytical framework that uses digital tools, technologies, and approaches to inform decision-makers. Mitigating risks related to foreign ownership, control, or influence of Department of Defense contractors or subcontractors (sec. 847) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 833) that would require the Secretary of Defense to amend policy and regulation to take steps to enhance the process for assessing and mitigating risks related to foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI). The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with technical and clarifying amendments. The conferees are concerned by the growing threat to the integrity of the defense industrial base from strategic competitors, like the Russian Federation, the People’s Republic of China, and their proxies, seeking to gain access to sensitive defense information or technology through contractors or subcontractors. The conferees recognize that there are existing efforts underway to understand and mitigate some of these risks as directed by several pilot programs including section 1048 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 and section 1969 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. The conferees also recognize that the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) has transitioned to a new mission and has taken on additional responsibilities despite resource constraints. However, the acquisition community must have greater visibility into all cleared and uncleared potential contractors and subcontractors seeking to do business with the Department. The Department must ensure that contractors and subcontractors do not pose a risk to the security of sensitive data, systems, or processes such as personally identifiable information, cybersecurity, or national security systems. Prohibition on operation or procurement of foreign-made unmanned aircraft systems (sec. 848) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 863) that would prohibit the operation or procurement of foreign-made unmanned aircraft systems by the Department of Defense. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 854, as amended by sec. 899D) that would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from operating or entering into a contract for the procurement of certain unmanned aircraft systems. The House recedes. Additionally, the conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to take such action as necessary to strengthen the domestic production of small unmanned aircraft systems (as defined in section 331 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (Public Law 112–95; 49 U.S.C. 44802 note)), as described under Presidential Determination No. 2019–13 of June 10, 2019. Modification of prohibition on acquisition of sensitive materials from non-allied foreign nations (sec. 849) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1411) that would include tantalum in the definition of covered materials. Additionally, the provision would expand the National Defense Stockpile Manager’s authority to not sell a material if it is determined to not be in the national interests of the United States. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 808). The House recedes with a technical amendment. Acquisition and disposal of certain rare earth materials (sec. 850) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6401) that would require the Secretary of Defense, acting through the Defense Logistics Agency, to submit a report assessing issues relating to the supply chain for rare earth materials. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 807) that would require the Department of Defense to promulgate guidance on streamlined acquisition of items with rare earth materials and allows exceptions to the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System Manual and Department of Defense Directive 5000.01. The provision would also provide authority for the disposal of tungsten ores and concentrates contained in the National Defense Stockpile and acquisition of other critical materials. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the requirement to establish guidance on streamlined acquisition of covered rare earth materials and would include an assessment of rare earth supply chain issues. Pilot program for development of technology-enhanced capabilities with partnership intermediaries (sec. 851) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 879) that would authorize the Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command to use not more than 5 percent of funds required to be expended by the Department of Defense relating to small businesses for a pilot program to increase participation by small business concerns in the development of technology-enhanced capabilities for special operations forces. The authority would terminate on September 30, 2021. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would revise the authority of the Commander of the United States Special Operations Command to use the greater of $2.0 million or 5 percent of funds required to be expended by the Department of Defense relating to small businesses for the pilot program and limits the scope to contracts and agreements to small business concerns. Authorized official to carry out the procurement technical assistance cooperative agreement program (sec. 852) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 902) that would move the management and oversight of the Procurement Technical Assistance Cooperative (PTAC) Agreement Program from the Defense Logistics Agency to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 880). The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. Requirement that certain ship components be manufactured in the national technology and industrial base (sec. 853) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 806) that would amend section 2534 of title 10, United States Code, and would require certain auxiliary ship components to be procured from a manufacturer in the national technology and industrial base. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require large medium speed diesel engines for certain auxiliary ships to be procured from a manufacturer in the national technology and industrial base. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act that details the plan to implement section 844 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 115-232) as soon as possible. Addition of domestically produced stainless steel flatware and dinnerware to the Berry Amendment (sec. 854) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 815) that would amend section 2533a(b) of title 10, United States Code, to add dinnerware and stainless steel flatware as covered items, requiring that the Department of Defense procure them only from domestic sources. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would set the addition to expire at the end of fiscal year 2023, and meanwhile require the Secretary of Defense to assess the rationale and implications of limiting procurement of these items to domestic sources. Application of miscellaneous technology base policies and programs to the Columbia-class submarine program (sec. 855) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 809) that would amend the application of miscellaneous technology base policies and programs to the Columbia-class submarine program. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. Application of limitation on procurement of goods other than United States goods to the FFG–Frigate Program (sec. 856) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 810) that would allow funds authorized for the FFG-Frigate program to be used to award a contract that does not domestically source propulsion or certain auxiliary equipment. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Sense of Congress regarding consideration of price in procurement of the FFG(X) frigate (sec. 857) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 811) that would require the Secretary of the Navy to ensure cost is a critical factor in the procurement of the FFG(X) Frigate. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would express the sense of Congress that in evaluating proposals for a contract to procure a FFG(X) frigate in fiscal year 2020, the Secretary of the Navy should ensure price is a critical factor. SUBTITLE F—PROVISIONS RELATING TO ACQUISITION WORKFORCE Establishment of Defense Civilian Training Corps (sec. 860) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 861) that would amend part III of subtitle A of title 10, United States Code, to establish a Defense Civilian Acquisition Training Corps.

The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the Defense Acquisition University to employ at least five visiting professors by September 1st, 2021. Software development and software acquisition training and management programs (sec. 862) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 802) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to implement software development and acquisition training and management programs for all software acquisition professionals, developers, and associated functions to provide software practitioners access to modern engagement and collaboration platforms to connect, share their skills and knowledge, and develop solutions leveraging the full defense enterprise. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment. Modification of temporary assignments of Department of Defense employees to a private-sector organization (sec. 863) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 842) that would create a two-way exchange program between the Department of Defense acquisition workforce and private sector companies. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would modify the existing public-private talent exchange program authorized by section 1599g of title 10, United States Code. The amendment would clarify that private-sector organizations shall not be considered to have an organizational conflict of interest with the Department of Defense solely based on participation in the talent exchange. The amendment would also authorize the use of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund in connection with the talent exchange program. Incentives and consideration for qualified training programs (sec. 864) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 843) that would amend chapter 141 of title 10, United States Code, by adding a new section to incentivize contractors to invest in workforce development programs to address the workforce needs of the Department of Defense, as determined by the Secretary. This section would also require the Secretary of Defense to include an evaluation of contractor workforce development programs in the contract past performance system. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Use of qualified apprentices by military construction contractors (sec. 865) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 844) that would require the Secretary of Defense to revise the Defense Supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation to require a system be used to monitor or record contractor past performance of the contractor making a good faith effort to meet or exceed the apprenticeship employment goal of 20 percent. This section would also require the Secretary of Defense to develop an apprenticeship workforce incentive program to encourage contractors to meet the 20 percent goal of employing certified and skilled workers who have completed State-mandated, federally funded programs in the relative career fields and certify to good faith effort to achieve the goal. This section would also require the Secretary of Defense to include an evaluation of whether the contractor meets this goal in the contractor past performance rating system. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would allow the Secretary of Defense to also consider certain high-quality industry recognized apprenticeship programs when evaluating contractor performance. The conferees note that the Department of Labor has issued a proposed rule that would establish a process for recognizing Standards Recognition Entities, which will in turn recognize Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Programs. The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to work with the Department of Labor as the proposed rule takes effect to ensure any apprenticeship programs recognized by the Department of Defense are of sufficient quality. SUBTITLE G—SMALL BUSINESS MATTERS Requirements relating to credit for certain small business concern subcontractors (sec. 870) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 873) that would amend section 8(d) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637) to clarify that large prime contractors have the ability to receive subcontracting credit for small businesses at lower tiers; strengthen the agency's ability to collect and review data regarding prime contractors' achievement of their subcontracting plans; require the prime contractor to keep and maintain records to demonstrate subcontracting credit claimed; and implement a new dispute process allowing small subcontractors to bring nonpayment issues to the agency small business advocate.

Funding for defense research activities of small business concerns (sec. 882) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 878(g)) that would amend section 9(f) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C 638(f)) to increase the required expenditure amounts for the Department of Defense from 3.2 percent to 4.0 percent, starting in fiscal year 2020. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would instead direct the Secretary of Defense to report on any assistance to small business concerns in fiscal years 2017 through 2019 under the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs, and any other research, development, test, and evaluation programs. Modifications to budget display requirements for the Department of Defense Small Business Innovation Research Program and Small Business Technology Transfer Program (sec. 883) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 887) that would amend section 857 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232; 132 Stat. 1891) to revise budget display requirements for the Department of Defense Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees' aim is to allow visibility into the SBIR/STTR effort to better support the program, and to support the alignment of each military services’ SBIR/STTR program under the Service Secretary’s strategic vision for their budget. Pilot program for domestic investment under the SBIR program (sec. 884) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 878(b)) that would express a sense of congress encouraging the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to promulgate regulations implementing existing authority under title 15, United States Code, that permits small business concerns that are majority-owned by multiple venture capital operating companies, hedge funds, or private equity firms to participate in the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The provision would further direct the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program to exercise this authority and make SBIR awards to such business concerns up to 10 percent of the Department’s annual SBIR allocation and would exempt the Department from the requirement for written determinations in advance of such awards. The provision would also direct the Secretary of Defense to include information about the activities under the pilot program in the annual report on the SBIR program. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with amendments that would eliminate the sense of congress; limit the Department of Defense exemption from the written determination to only those small business concerns meeting certain requirements related to foreign ownership; further expand the information provided in the SBIR annual report; and add a requirement for the Secretary of Defense to notify the Administrator of the Small Business Administration 30 days following an award. SUBTITLE H—OTHER MATTERS Review of guidance to contractors on nondiscrimination on the basis of sex (sec. 885) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899C) that would direct a revision to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement to allow contracts only with entities that have employee policies penalizing instances of sexual harassment, and would direct the Secretary of Defense to initiate a debarment proceeding for entities seeking contracts with the Department of Defense who do not have such policies. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to review the implementation of the requirement under Executive Order 11246 relating to the expectations of contractors to ensure nondiscrimination on the basis of sex, to include sexual harassment, and to update any relevant training guidance based on this review. The conferees note that the appendix to Part 60-20 of Title 41, Code of Federal Regulations outlines best practices and procedures for contractors pertaining to the environment contractors should foster with regard to sexual harassment, which includes communicating that harassing conduct will not be tolerated, providing anti-harassment training, and establishing and implementing procedures for complaints about harassment and intimidation based on sex. The conferees believe the Department should strongly encourage contractors to incorporate such best practices and procedures. Comptroller General report on contractor violations of certain labor laws (sec. 886) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899F) that would require the Comptroller General of the United States to deliver a report to the Congress on the number of Department of Defense contractors who have been found by the Department of Labor to have committed violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-596) or the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (Public Law 75-718). The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Comptroller General report on contingency contracting (sec. 887) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899G) that would reauthorize the Commission on Wartime Contracting established under Section 841 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181; 122 Stat. 230) and amend the Commission’s duties to include studying federal agency contracting funded by overseas contingency operations funds. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would direct the Comptroller General of the United States to report on the implementation of the recommendations made by the Commission and the use of contractors to perform work supporting contingency operations since January 1, 2009, and not include the reauthorization of the Commission on Wartime Contracting. Policies and procedures for contractors to report gross violations of internationally recognized human rights (sec. 888) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899K) that would require that contractors performing Department of Defense contracts in a foreign country report possible cases of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights and that the Secretary of Defense submit a report to congressional committees describing the policies and procedures in place to obtain information about such violations and the resources needed to investigate. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would require the Department to update its policies, guidance, and regulations to include specific guidance for both Department of Defense employees and contractors for monitoring and reporting alleged violations, and clarify its applicability to contractors performing outside the United States. Comptroller General report on oversight of contractors providing private security functions (sec. 889) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899L) that would direct the Inspector General of the Department of Defense to report on certain contracts for private security performed in contingency operations since 2001, to include data on costs, locations, civilians killed or wounded while performing the work, and disciplinary actions taken against the contractors. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would re-direct the study to the Comptroller General of the United States, and realign the substance of the review to evaluate Department of Defense’s efforts to improve its oversight of contractors providing private security functions since 2009, to include how it has implemented certain new industry-wide law, policy, regulation, standards, and guidance. The conferees note the significant changes that have occurred in the private security sector since certain reforms were initiated following the final report and recommendations of the Commission on Wartime Contracting in 2011. Prohibition on contracting with persons that have business operations with the Maduro regime (sec. 890) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 864) that would prohibit the Department of Defense from entering into a contract with any person or entity that has business operations with an authority of the Government of Venezuela that is not recognized as the legitimate Government of Venezuela by the United States Government. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 897). The Senate recedes. Report on the Combating Trafficking in Persons initiative (sec. 891) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 865) that would direct the Comptroller General of the United States to report on the Department of Defense’s efforts to combat trafficking in persons through procurement practices. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1080A) that would require the Department of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees containing an analysis of the Department’s progress in implementing the Combating Trafficking in Persons Initiative. The House recedes with an amendment that would direct the Secretary of Defense to analyze the Department’s progress in implementing the Combating Trafficking in Persons initiative described in DOD Instruction 2200.01. Noting that the Department’s report will provide further information on the implementation of this program, the conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report to the congressional defense committees on the Department of Defense’s overall efforts to combat human trafficking not later than January 31, 2021. The required report shall evaluate (1) the processes and procedures to combat human trafficking in the Department’s contracting and supply chain policy, regulation, and practices, to include the implementation of title 27 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239) and Executive Order 13627, as well as the nature and extent of training for contracting officers on how to evaluate compliance plans, monitor contractor adherence to the plans, and respond to reports of noncompliance; (2) the progress of the current trafficking in persons office within the Department of Defense in leading the Department to address all forms of human trafficking, the efficacy of such office in identifying, tracking, and managing any and all trafficking in persons cases, and what, if any, improvements should be made to the office; (3) the process used by contracting officers to evaluate compliance plans with regards to preventing human trafficking and a description of the remedies imposed by contracting officers in cases where an allegation of human trafficking has been substantiated; and (4) the process for reporting instances of human trafficking to the Inspector General of the Department of Defense and the disposition of those cases. Improved management of information technology and cyberspace investments (sec. 892) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 851) that would require the Department of Defense Chief Information Officer (CIO) to work with the Chief Data Officer to optimize the Department’s process to account for, manage, and report its information technology and cyberspace investments and would require the CIO to brief the congressional defense committees and to recommend any necessary legislative changes to the committees not later than February 3, 2020. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that the Department of Defense's process to account for, manage, and report its information technology and cyberspace investments—which account for at least $50.0 billion annually—is inefficient. Further, the conferees are concerned that this process results in unnecessary delays in preparing the annual budget exhibit and in regulatory reporting required by the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act of 2015, incorporated into the Howard P. “Buck” McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). After years of legislation and regulation, the definitions pertaining to and the methods for grouping and accounting for spending on these investments have become cumbersome and obscure, and they hinder, rather than facilitating, insight into and oversight of spending plans and portfolio management. The briefing provided to the committees should include alternative methods for presenting budget justification materials to the public and congressional staff to more accurately communicate when, how, and with what frequency capabilities are delivered to end-users, in accordance with best practices for managing and reporting on information technology investments. Modification to requirements for purchase of commercial leasing services pursuant to multiple award contracts (sec. 893) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899B) that would amend section 877 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232; 41 U.S.C. 3302 note) to extend the termination date for the exemption for commercial leasing services provision from 2022 to 2025 and change the reporting date of the Comptroller General of the United States audit to every five years. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would repeal section 877 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 and would amend section 3302 of title 41, United States Code, to add the exemption for commercial leasing services as a new subsection. LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED Modification to small purchase threshold exception to sourcing requirements for certain articles The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 810) that would lower the threshold at which the Department of Defense must comply with the rules of section 2533a of title 10, United States Code, known as the Berry Amendment, to $150,000. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. Rates for progress payments or performance-based payments The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 823) that would require the Secretary of Defense to provide congressional defense committees with a notice of determination and to notify the public through the Federal Register before initiating changes to contract finance rates for progress payments or performance-based payments.

Additional requirements for negotiations for noncommercial computer software The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 824) that would amend section 2322a of title 10, United States Code, and codify existing Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations on noncommercial software rights as well as mandate, to the maximum extent practicable, that specially negotiated licenses be used for weapon systems noncommercial software. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Competition requirements for purchases from Federal Prison Industries The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 827) that would amend section 2410n of title 10, United States Code.

Enhanced post-award debriefing rights The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 828) that would amend section 818 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115–91), which required post-award debriefings of the Department of Defense rating for each evaluation criteria and overall award decision, by reducing the award threshold for comprehensive debriefings from $100.0 million to $50.0 million. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Preference for offerors employing veterans The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 831) that would amend chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code, by allowing the head of an agency to establish a preference for offerors that employ veterans on a full-time basis when awarding a contract for the procurement of goods or services for the Department of Defense. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Reporting on expenses incurred for independent research and development costs The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 832) that would amend section 2372 of title 10, United States Code, to require Department of Defense contractors to report expenses incurred for independent research and development (IR&D) costs. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that IR&D is initiated and conducted by Department of Defense contractors and the Department reimburses a portion of industry’s costs. The conferees acknowledge that it is beneficial for the Department to understand what technologies its contractors are investing in beyond Department of Defense contracts. However, the conferees note that there is an ongoing Comptroller General review of recent changes to IR&D policies and the extent that recently funded IR&D projects align with the Department’s modernization priorities as laid out in the National Defense Strategy. The conferees encourage the Department to use the findings from the Comptroller General’s review as a basis for its IR&D strategy going forward, including what information is required to be reported by the contractor. Lastly, the conferees remind the Department that it should share information about contractor costs within the Department in a continuous and strategic manner, including in coordination with the Department’s Chief Data Officer. Assessment of precision-guided missiles for reliance on foreignmade microelectronic components The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 832) that would require the Air Force to assess its reliance on foreign sources for all microelectronics in precision guided munitions currently in production. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, not later than August 31, 2020, to brief the congressional defense committees on the reliance of the United States Armed Forces on foreign sources for microelectronics in precision guided munitions currently in production. The briefing should identify whether the microelectronics suppliers are single source or sole-source providers as well as which tier subcontractors supply the microelectronics. The briefing should also include an evaluation of the cybersecurity risk to precision guided munitions posed by foreign-made microelectronics. Reporting on expenses incurred for bid and proposal costs The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 833) that would amend section 2372a(a) of title 10, United States Code, to require that contractors report expenses incurred for bid and proposal costs annually to the Defense Contract Audit Agency, who shall give access to the information to the Principal Director for Defense Pricing and Contracting. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Report on requirements relating to consumption-based solutions The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 835) that would require the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to submit a report on requirements relating to consumption-based solutions to the congressional defense committees. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees recognize the acquisition of supplies and services is still evolving and believe there is a place for consumption-based solutions. The conferees direct the Deputy Secretary of Defense in conjunction with the Chief Management Officer, the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, and the Director, Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation, to report to the congressional defense committees by March 15, 2020, on the feasibility of using consumption-based solutions as a procurement option to include recommended definitions, processes, contract types, and funding approaches. Supply chain security of certain telecommunications and video surveillance services or equipment The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 851) that would require the Secretary of Defense to consult with the Federal Acquisition Security Council to comprehensively assess policies and contractors’ systems relating to telecommunications and video surveillance services and equipment from foreign suppliers; to mitigate risks through a specific interagency debarment and suspension process; to promulgate guidance; and to issue regulation containing certain elements. The House amendment contained another provision (sec. 852)that would require the Secretary of Defense to procure certain telecommunications services or installations of telecommunications infrastructure on national security installations located on territories of the United States in the Pacific Ocean, only from American-owned or –operated companies, with a national security waiver. The Senate bill contained similar provisions, (sec. 831) that would require the Secretary of Defense to modernize mitigation of risks to the integrity of the supply chain, to include those cited in recent studies on the defense industrial base, and (sec. 833) that would that would require the Secretary of Defense to amend policy and regulation to enhance the process for assessing and mitigating risks related to foreign ownership, control, or influence. The House recedes with amendments to sec. 831 that would direct the Secretary to recommend revisions to certain statutory definitions, would more explicitly emphasize the role of suspension and debarment in supply-chain security, and would direct the Secretary to establish a process to re-assess companies who have addressed certain risks. The conferees acknowledge that establishing blanket “prohibitions” in legislation can be well-intended and effective in some aspects, while also having unintended consequences. The conferees intend for the Department to be pro-active rather than reactive, in securing its supply chain. The conferees note there are multiple efforts in place and underway at the Department to address supply chain risks, and that similar efforts are being undertaken government-wide. The conferees encourage the Department to harmonize these activities where appropriate in ways that do not inhibit the Department from exercising its discretion in areas of national security interest. In this regard, the Department should pay specific attention to the procurement of telecommunications goods and services for use on installations in the Pacific Ocean. Revised authorities to defeat adversary efforts to compromise United States defense capabilities The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 853) that would strengthen defense supply chains by including security as a primary purpose for Department of Defense acquisition. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note other sections of the conference report that modernize the Department’s supply chain risk mitigation efforts by requiring the Secretary of Defense to develop an analytical framework across the acquisition process, assign risk mitigation roles and responsibilities to organizations and individuals, and modernize access to data necessary to assess risk across the acquisition enterprise. Supply chain risk mitigation policies to be implemented through requirements generation process The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 855) that would amend section 807 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115–91) to require the Secretary of Defense to develop tools for supply chain risk mitigation policies during the requirements generation process. The Senate bill contained a similar provision (sec. 831) which addressed this and several other matters pertaining to the defense industrial base. The House recedes. The conferees note the House provision was based on the work of the Advisory Panel on Streamlining and Codifying Acquisition Regulations established by section 809 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92). The conferees commend the work of the Panel and note that, since the Panel was established, it has made 98 recommendations across 3 report volumes and continues to identify areas where United States Code can be reorganized for clarity and efficiency. The Congress has enacted a number of the recommendations from the first two volumes in prior National Defense Authorization Acts and continues to carefully consider the recommendations of the Panel. Size standard calculations for certain small business concerns The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 872) that would clarify that section 3(a)(2)(C) of the Small Business Act applies to the Small Business Administration (SBA). The section would align the size standards based on data to the Small Business Runway Extension Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-324) by changing the calculation from 3 years to 5 years. This section also would require the SBA to develop a transition plan for small businesses and Federal agencies to help them successfully navigate the transition from the previous 3-year calculation to the new 5-year calculation as mandated and would require that the System for Award Management be updated accordingly. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Small Business Administration cybersecurity reports The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 875) that would require the Small Business Administration to issue reports that assess its cybersecurity infrastructure, including determining the country of origin of its information technology components, and report cyber threats, breaches, and cyber attacks. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Cyber counseling certification program for lead small business development centers The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 876) that would amend section 21(a) of the Small Business Act by adding cyber strategy training for Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) and require the Small Business Administrator to establish, or certify, an existing cyber counseling certification program to certify employees at small business development centers (that have directly received a grant from the Administration) to provide assistance to small businesses for planning cybersecurity practices and strategies to respond to cyber attacks. The Small Business Administration would be authorized to reimburse SBDCs for employee certification costs up to $350,000 per fiscal year. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Exemption of certain contracts from the periodic inflation adjustments to the acquisition-related dollar threshold The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 877) that would amend subparagraph (B) of section 1908(b)(2) of title 41, United States Code, to exempt certain contracts from the periodic inflation adjustments to the acquisition-related dollar threshold. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Phase 0 Proof of Concept Partnership program for the Department of Defense The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 878(d)) that would amend section 9(jj) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C 638) to change references to “The Director of the National Institutes of Health” to “A covered agency head” which is defined as the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for NIH Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs or the Secretary of Defense for Department of Defense STTR programs. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Briefing on the Trusted Capital Marketplace pilot program The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 885) that would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to congressional defense committees on the progress of the Trusted Capital Marketplace pilot program.

The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Report and database on items manufactured in the United States for major defense acquisition programs The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 892) that would amend chapter 144 of title 10, United States Code, by inserting a new section requiring the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees assessing the domestic source content of procurements carried out in connection with major defense acquisition programs. This section would also require the Secretary of Defense to establish an information repository for the collection of domestic source content information. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Contractor science, technology, engineering, and math programs The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 894) that would deem the cost of participating in certain science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs an allowable cost under a contract between the contractor and the Department of Defense. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note the importance of developing a world class cadre of technical talent who can perform critical STEM job functions in both government and industry, including a number which require security clearances. The conferees believe that a strong partnership between the defense industry and the Department of Defense can stimulate efforts to increase that pool of STEM talent. Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to enter into an arrangement with one or more academic institutions to study and develop policy options and recommendations to promote DOD-defense industry collaboration in STEM education activities. The conferees note that these partnerships should be primarily focused on developing collaborative DOD-industry activities relevant to: creating a clearable technical workforce to meet defense missions, supporting educational opportunities for defense sector personnel in both government and industry, and increasing educational opportunities for veterans and military dependents. Further, the study should focus on activities which are based on metrics and education best practices to ensure maximum effectiveness. The conferees direct that the study, accompanied by an assessment and plan for the Secretary to implement the recommended policy options, if appropriate, should be delivered to the congressional defense committees no later than October 1, 2020. The conferees direct that Secretary to ensure that the study is developed in consultation with industry, education experts, and all appropriate defense organizations with expertise in STEM education. Report on cost growth of major defense acquisitions programs The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 898) that would require the Comptroller General of the United States to provide a report analyzing cost growth of major defense acquisition programs to the defense committees. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United States to submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives a report analyzing the cost growth of major defense acquisition programs (as defined in section 2430 of title 10 United States Code) during the 15 fiscal years preceding the date of the enactment of this Act. Report and strategy on terminated foreign contracts The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899A) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress a report on contracts performed in foreign countries for which the contract was terminated for convenience because of actions taken by the government of, or an entity located in, the foreign country that impeded the ability of the contractor to perform the contract. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Prohibition on contracting with persons with willful or repeated violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899E) that would require the head of a Federal department or agency to initiate debarment proceedings for persons who willfully or repeatedly violate the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 201 et seq.). The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Federal contractor disclosure of unpaid Federal tax liability The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899H) that would amend section 2313(c) of title 41, United States Code, to include information on any unpaid federal tax liability of covered persons in the federal awardee performance and integrity database. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Pilot program on payment of costs for denied Government Accountability Office bid protests The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899J) that would amend the pilot program established in section 827 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 to require contractors to reimburse the Department of Defense for direct costs incurred by the Department in support of hearings to adjudicate bid protests. The provision would also change the date on which the pilot program begins. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. GAO report on contracting practices of the Corps of Engineers The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899M) that would require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study on the contracting practices of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees direct the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study on the contracting practices of USACE, with a specific focus on how USACE complies with and enforces the requirement to pay prevailing wages on federally financed construction jobs, as required by subchapter IV of chapter 31 of title 40, United States Code (commonly referred to as the DavisBacon Act). The study should consider the following: (1) Any programs or protocols USACE has in place for the purpose of carrying out its Davis-Bacon Act enforcement obligations as set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation. (2) Any programs or protocols USACE has in place for the purpose of identifying and addressing independent contractor misclassification on projects subject to the Davis-Bacon Act.

Comptroller General report on defense business processes The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 899N) that would require the Comptroller General of the United States to submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the use of defense business processes. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes.

The House amendment 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 Headquarters activities of the Department of Defense matters (sec. 901) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 901) that would repeal certain certifications, require a report on numbers of employees in the National Guard Headquarters, provide modest increases in the statutory caps on other headquarters personnel, and sunset the requirements of section 346 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 11492). The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate the repeal of certain certifications and modify the increases in the statutory caps on headquarters personnel with the intent of enhancing the opportunity for civilian perspective and advice to be considered in the balance on strategic decisions regarding matters of the armed forces. The conferees are concerned about civilian-military relations and note a perceived unhealthy drift in decisionmaking on strategic defense issues away from civilian leaders. Therefore, the conferees urge the Secretary of Defense to utilize the relief to existing limitations on civilian personnel supporting the Office of the Secretary of Defense in such a manner as to optimize enhancement of civilian control of the military. For example, the conferees note that section 922 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) assigned additional authority to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and LowIntensity Conflict (ASD SO/LIC). As such, the conferees expect the additional authority and relief of limitations on civilian personnel will enhance civilian oversight of U.S. Special Operations Command through its ‘service secretary-like’ role. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, not later than January 1, 2020, to submit to the armed services committees a report setting forth: 1) the total number of members of the Armed Forces and civilian employees of the Department of Defense assigned to support the Office of the Chief of the National Guard Bureau and the National Guard Joint Staff; 2) a description of the headquarters staff of each geographic combatant command, as well as each sub-unified command and service component command under the geographic combatant command, as of the following dates: October 1, 2014 and October 1, 2019. The description of the headquarters staffs of the geographic combatant commands shall include the number of military and civilian personnel who are authorized, and the numbers assigned or detailed, to duty in, functions of, or direct support to the headquarters element, including a breakout of personnel by functional area as defined in Department of Defense Instruction 5100.73. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, not later than January 1, 2021, to submit to the congressional defense committees a report setting forth the following: a) A recommendation for the total number of members and employees required for the Office of the Chief of the National Guard Bureau and the National Guard Joint Staff to execute the missions and functions of the National Guard Bureau and the National Guard Joint Staff. b) A recommendation for the number of military and civilian personnel who are required in the headquarters element to execute the missions and functions of each geographic combatant command. Clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment and the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (sec. 902) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5902) that would allocate the responsibilities of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, a position that was eliminated in the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2017, between the two successor entities. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 861(j)). The Senate recedes with amendments that include directing the Secretary of Defense to issue guidance and a framework for independent technical risk assessments (ITRAs), clarifying prototyping responsibilities for the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, updating the Executive Schedule level for the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, and adding prototyping responsibilities for the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment. The conferees note the benefit of having specific guidance detailing the conditions in which the Department would approve ITRAs conducted by independent organizations within the military departments. The conferees therefore direct the Secretary of Defense to issue the required ITRA guidance and framework no later than March 1, 2020, and to provide a briefing to congressional defense committees at that time. The conferees also direct the Secretary of Defense to further refine and elaborate the definitions of prototyping to ensure that the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment have clearly defined roles and responsibilities, paying particular attention to the activities executed under budget activity 4, and software activities, which are likely to be difficult to determine. Return to Chief Information Officer of the Department of Defense of responsibility for business systems and related matters (sec. 903) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 903) that would return the responsibilities for business systems from the Chief Management Officer back to the Chief Information Officer and would realign the Chief Data Officer to report to the Chief Information Officer instead of the Chief Management Officer. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Assessments of responsibilities and authorities of the Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense (sec. 904) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 5901) that would direct the Secretary of Defense to determine the manner in which the Chief Management Officer directs the business-related activities of the military departments and determine the responsibilities and authorities, if any, of the Chief Management Officer for the Defense Agencies and Department of Defense Field Activities. The provision would further direct the Secretary of Defense, in light of these determinations, to assign the responsibilities and authorities of the Chief Management Officer and submit a plan to Congress for carrying out these requirements. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with amendments that would require a Secretary of Defense and an independent assessment of the Chief Management Officer position, and associated reports on those assessments with recommendations regarding the roles and responsibilities of the Chief Management Officer. The conferees note the Department has faced significant structural challenges in implementing the Chief Management Officer position since its inception. Accordingly, it is the conferees’ intention to change the position from senior executive schedule II to III and, pending the assessment directed by this section, to disestablish the Chief Management Officer position altogether. The conferees therefore direct the Secretary to ensure the assessment provided for in this section is sufficiently comprehensive to allow for the reassignment of roles and responsibilities, as well as the authorities that would be necessary for orderly transition of such activities should the conferees decide to do so. Senior Military Advisor for Cyber Policy and Deputy Principal Cyber Advisor (sec. 905) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 904) that would require the designation of a general or flag officer of the Armed Forces to serve within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy as the Senior Military Advisor for Cyber Policy and, concurrently, as the Deputy Principal Cyber Advisor. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Exclusion from limitations on personnel in the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Department of Defense headquarters of fellows appointed under the John S. McCain Defense Fellows Program (sec. 906) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 921) that would amend section 932(f)(3) of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115232) to stipulate that an individual appointed to a fellowship under this section shall not count against the limitation on the number of Office of the Secretary of Defense personnel in section 143 of title 10, United States Code, or any similar limitation in law on the number of personnel in headquarters of the Department of Defense. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with a technical amendment. SUBTITLE B—ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE OFFICES AND ELEMENTS Codification of Assistant Secretaries for Energy, Installations, and Environment of the Army, Navy, and Air Force (sec. 911) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 911) that would amend sections 3016(a), 5016(a), and 8016(a) of title 10, United States Code, to require that each military department maintain an assistant secretary for energy, installations, and environment. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 911). The Senate recedes with a technical amendment. SUBTITLE C—OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT MATTERS Prohibition on ownership or trading of stocks in certain companies by certain officials of the Department of Defense (sec. 921) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1034) that would prohibit Department of Defense officials who participated personally and substantially in an acquisition valued in excess of $10.0 million who occupy a position on the Executive Schedule, are a member of the Senior Executive Service, a General or Flag Officer, or who served as a program manager, deputy program manager, procuring contracting officer, administrative contracting officer, source selection authority, member of a source selection evaluation board, or chief of a financial or technical evaluation team for a contract in excess of $10.0 million, from owning or trading a publicly traded stock of a company that, during the preceding calendar year, received more than $1.0 billion in revenue from the Department of Defense, including through contracts with the Department. Further, the provision would direct that no officer or employee of the Department of Defense may own or trade a publicly traded stock of a company that is a contractor or subcontractor of the Department, if the Standards of Conduct Office of the Office of the General Counsel of the Department of Defense determines that the value of the stock may be directly or indirectly influenced by any official act of that officer or employee. Any official who knowingly fails to comply with these requirements would be subject to administrative action by the Secretary of Defense. The definition of publicly traded stock would not include a widely-held investment fund, for purposes of this provision. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would prohibit an individual serving in a key acquisition position in the Department of Defense who is: (1) A civilian officer or employee in a Senior Executive Service, Senior-Level, or Scientific or Professional position; or (2) A member of the Armed Forces in a grade above O-6, from owning or purchasing publicly traded stock of a company that is one of the ten entities awarded the most amount of contract funds by the Department of Defense in a fiscal year during the five preceding fiscal years. This same prohibition would apply to any civilian appointed to a position in the Department of Defense by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The prohibition would not apply if the aggregate market value of the stock holdings ascribed to the individual officer, employee, member of the Armed Forces, or appointee does not exceed the de minimis threshold established in the Code of Federal Regulations, or if the stock is purchased and owned as part of an Excepted Investment Fund or mutual fund. Limitation on consolidation of Defense Media Activity (sec. 922) The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 912) that would prohibit funds authorized or appropriated for the Department of Defense to be used to consolidate the Defense Media Activity until 180 days after the Secretary of Defense submits a report that includes any plans to consolidate the Defense Media Activity. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would remove the funding limitation, direct the Secretary of Defense not to take any actions to consolidate the Defense Media Activity until 60 days after submitting the required report, and change the definition of consolidation. Report on resources to implement the civilian casualty policy of the Department of Defense (sec. 923) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 922) that would require, not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense committee a report on the resources necessary to fulfill the requirements of section 936 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) over the future years defense plan. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. SUBTITLE D—UNITED STATES SPACE FORCE United States Space Force Act (secs. 951-961) The Senate bill contained a series of provisions (sec. 1601-1608) that would establish the United States Space Force (USSF) within the Department of the Air Force and make changes to the organization of, authorities of, and acquisition associated with space forces assigned to the Department of Defense (DOD). The House amendment contained a similar series of provisions (sec. 921-925) that would establish a U.S. Space Corps within the Department of the Air Force. The Senate recedes with an amendment that would enact the United States Space Force Act. The amendment would modify title 10, United States Code, to establish the United States Space Force as an Armed Force within the Department of the Air Force. The amendment would make multiple technical and conforming changes necessary to fully establish the United States Space Force in title 10, United States Code. The Space Force would include military personnel of the Air Force Space Command and other military personnel of the Air Force as assigned to the Space Force by the Secretary of the Air Force. The amendment would prohibit the authorization of additional military billets. The conferees expect that the Space Force would be supported by civilian personnel within the Department of the Air Force and by Air Force Reserve elements, as determined by the Secretary of the Air Force. The conferees direct the Secretary of the Air Force to provide to the congressional defense committees a total force management plan in support of the Space Force. The report shall be delivered not later than 90 days after the enactment of this Act. The amendment would designate the commander of the Space Force as the Chief of Space Operations (CSO), appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The CSO’s rank would be that of general with a 4-year term of command. The CSO could be the incumbent Commander, Air Force Space Command, without further appointment. The CSO would report directly to the Secretary of the Air Force upon enactment of this Act. After 1 year, the CSO would be a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The amendment would provide the Secretary of Defense with the temporary authority to establish a dual-hatted arrangement wherein the CSO, for the first year after enactment, would also serve as the Commander, U.S. Space Command (SPACECOM). The conferees expect the Space Force and its supporting elements to be the exclusive source of personnel of the Department of the Air Force to be assigned, by the CSO, to the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), unless otherwise specified by the Secretary of the Air Force. The amendment would establish the position of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (ASD) for Space Policy within the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The amendment would require the Secretary of Defense to seek to enter into an agreement with a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) to develop recommendations on the appropriate elements of the Office of the ASD for Space Policy, including, in particular, whether to include space capabilities and programs currently assigned to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence or in the Military Intelligence Program. The Secretary would submit to the congressional defense committees such recommendations, together with an assessment of those recommendations, not later than 180 after the date of the enactment of this Act. The amendment would rename the Principal Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force for Space as the Assistant Secretary for Space Acquisition and Integration (ASAF/SP), who would report directly to the Secretary of the Air Force and serve as the senior architect for space systems and programs across the Department of Defense, providing advice to the service acquisition executive (SAE) of the Air Force (the existing Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition). The ASAF/SP would oversee and direct the Space Rapid Capabilities Office, the Space and Missile Systems Center, and the Space Development Agency, providing fiscal and strategic guidance to the organizations. Effective October 1, 2022, the ASAF/SP would also become the SAE for Space Systems and Programs, which would include all space acquisition activities within the Air Force. All space acquisition projects currently managed by the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition would be transitioned to the ASAF/SP in the role of SAE for Space Systems and Programs, therefore providing for two SAEs reporting to the Secretary of the Air Force. The ASAF/SP would require confirmation by the Senate for this additional role. The conferees note that the Deputy Secretary of Defense did not submit to the congressional defense committees the plan required by section 1601(b) of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115– 232). Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of the Air Force to provide to the congressional defense committees a report on whether and, if so, how to implement an alternative acquisition system, due not later than March 31, 2020. The report should include an assessment of the feasibility of a new acquisition system specifically tailored for space systems and programs, including with respect to procuring space vehicles, ground segments relating to such vehicles, and satellite terminals. The plan shall include recommendations with respect to whether the alternative acquisition system described in the plan should use the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System process or instead use a new requirements process developed in a manner that ensures that requirements for a program are synchronized across the space vehicles and ground segments. It should also consider how such a system can achieve faster acquisition and more rapid fielding of critical systems, including by using new commercial capability. The conferees also direct the Secretary to submit, not later than 120 days after the enactment of this Act, to the congressional defense committees a report with recommendations on the integration of acquisition authority for the NRO into acquisition authority of the Air Force for space systems and programs. The amendment would also establish a Space Force Acquisition Council (SAC) within the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force that would oversee, direct, and manage Air Force acquisitions for space in order to ensure integration across the national security space enterprise. The SAC would meet not less frequently than monthly. The amendment would establish the ASAF/SP as the chair of Council. The Under Secretary of the Air Force, the Director of the NRO, the CSO, the ASD for Space Policy and the Commander, SPACECOM, would also be members of the Council. The amendment would require the SAC to submit quarterly reports to the congressional defense committees through the first calendar year quarter of 2025 on the activities of the Council. The conferees direct the Secretary of the Air Force and Secretary of Defense to submit the following reports and briefings to the congressional defense committees on the establishment of the United States Space Force: (1) A report and accompanying briefing on a comprehensive plan for the organizational structure of the Space Force, to be submitted by the Secretary of the Air Force not later than February 1, 2020.

The report should also include, for each project under military construction accounts, the country, location, project title, and project amount by fiscal year, and, for any expenditures and proposed appropriations not included, an explanation with a level of detail at least equivalent to the level of detail provided in the future year’s defense program submitted to Congress. The report may be submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified annex; (3) A report setting forth a comprehensive legislative proposal for amendments to the laws under the jurisdiction of the congressional defense committees to fully integrate the Space Force as an Armed Force, and the regular and reserve military and the civilian personnel of the Space Force, into current law, to be submitted by the Secretary of Defense not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act; (4) A plan to ensure the quality of the military and civilian personnel of the Space Force, to include: (a) Mechanisms to define career professional milestones and manage the career progression of members and civilian employees of the Space Force throughout their careers; (b) Identification and establishment of spacerelated career fields; (c) Pay and incentive structures; (d) The management and oversight of the space cadre; (e) Training relating to planning and executing warfighting missions and operations in space; (f) Conducting periodic cadre-wide professional assessments to determine how the cadre is developing as a group; (g) Establishing a centralized method to control personnel assignments and distribution; (h) The identification of future space-related career fields that the Secretary determines appropriate, including a space acquisition career field; and (i) Identification of overlap among the operations and acquisition career fields to identify opportunities for cross-functional careers. The Secretary should submit to the congressional defense committees a report on such plan not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. The conferees also direct the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, to submit to the congressional defense committees a report containing the results of a review on processes designed to achieve more effective integration of capabilities among the NRO, National Security Agency, National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA), and SPACECOM for joint operations. This report should be submitted not later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act. Finally, this amendment would limit the total amount of funds to be obligated and expended in fiscal year 2020 for the establishment of the Space Force to the amount requested for the Space Force in the President’s budget request for fiscal year 2020. The amendment would require the Secretary of the Air Force to implement the establishment of the United States Space Force not later than 18 months after the date of the enactment of this Act. The amendment would also require the Secretary and the CSO to jointly provide to the congressional defense committees briefings on the status of the current missions, operations and activities, manpower requirements, budget and funding requirements, and implementation not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act and every 60 days thereafter until March 31, 2023.

The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would: (1) Combine sections 1285 and 6219 with minor modifications; (2) Amend section 1286 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 to require the Secretary of Defense to establish enhanced information sharing procedures to collect appropriate information on any personnel participating in defense research and development activities other than basic research and to maintain appropriate security controls over research activities, technical information, and intellectual property; and (3) Amend the required report in the same section to be an annual report. The conferees note the important impact that United States academic institutions have had advancing emerging technologies and contributing to the defense research enterprise. Maintaining an open and collaborative environment for unclassified basic and applied research is fundamental to attracting the world’s best students and commercializing their innovations. The conferees, however, note the efforts undertaken by foreign adversaries and competitors to exploit the open academic environment through the theft of intellectual property, improper technology transfer, and espionage. The conferees encourage the Secretary of Defense to establish a memorandum of understanding with the Secretary of Homeland Security in order to coordinate the implementation of the enhanced information sharing required in this provision. The conferees note, that to greatest extent possible, the Secretary of Defense should streamline information sharing procedures and leverage existing government information systems and repositories, including the Student Exchange Visitor Information System, to reduce the burden on universities and the Department of Defense.

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED Report on participants in security cooperation training programs and recipients of security assistance training that have been designated for human rights abuses or terrorist activities The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1205) that would require, not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the heads of other appropriate Federal departments and agencies, to submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on individuals and units of security forces of foreign countries that have participated in security cooperation programs or received security assistance training and have been subject to United States sanctions relating to the violation or human rights or terrorist activities. The Secretaries would also be required to submit an annual update of the report. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note the importance of adherence to human rights by recipients of Department of Defense (DOD) security cooperation training. The conferees note that section 362 of title 10, United States Code, prohibits DOD from providing assistance to foreign security forces if there is credible information that gross violations of human rights have been committed. Among the key elements of the security cooperation reforms contained in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) were an increased emphasis on the integration of human rights training into DOD security cooperation programs and the strengthening of the defense and security institutions of foreign partners in order to more effectively and responsibly train, manage, and employ their forces. The conferees note that DOD faces significant challenges relating to its ability to comprehensively track recipients of DOD security cooperation training in order to identify those who may subsequently have committed gross violations of human rights. The conferees understand that these challenges arise in part from limitations in the Department’s ability to collect and maintain data on all individuals who receive security cooperation training under title 10 chapter 16 authorities and in the ability to cross-reference such information with that of other departments and agencies of the United States government. The conferees are aware that the lack of data would result in incomplete information on recipients of security cooperation training that have been designated for human rights abuses or terrorist activities. Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the Armed Services Committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act on the advisability and feasibility of providing Congress with a report on recipients of security cooperation training programs at the unit and individual level that, after such training, go on to commit gross violations of human rights. The briefing should identify any challenges that DOD may encounter in such an effort as well as recommendations for overcoming such challenges.

The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees are concerned by any threat or use of force against civilians or actions against a nation’s sovereignty, which would be contrary to international law. The importance of a diplomatic resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is addressed in another section of this report. Multinational regional security education center The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1209) that would require, not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing on the utility and feasibility of establishing a multinational regional security education center. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide to the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate a briefing on the utility and feasibility of establishing a multinational regional security education center, including as a satellite entity of the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies that is located in a member country of the Association for Southeast Asian Nations, to offer year-round training and educational courses to Southeast Asian and Indo-Pacific civilian and military security personnel to enhance engagement of territorial and maritime security, transnational and asymmetric threats, and defense sector governance in the Indo-Pacific region. Training may also include English-language training, human rights training, rule of law and legal studies, security governance and institution-building courses, and budget and procurement training. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a written summary of the briefing to the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, within 30 days following the briefing. Training for participants in professional military education programs The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1210) that would require any foreign person participating in professional military education to participate in human rights training. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that every year numerous students from foreign militaries participate in professional military education provided and funded by the United States. These courses should be viewed as a valuable opportunity to foster an appreciation of human rights and the rule of law. The conferees are aware that foreign students in professional military education programs participate in the Department of Defense Field Studies Program, which includes instruction in human rights and law of war, among other topics. The Secretary of Defense is encouraged to continue providing human rights training as a key component of professional military education. Report on plan to transfer funds in connection with the provision of support under section 385 of title 10, United States Code The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1210A) that would require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on Department of Defense plans to transfer funds with the provision of support under section 385 of title 10, United States Code, for fiscal year 2020.

The briefing should also include a description of any issues that may impede the use of such authority.

The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Sense of Congress on support for Ministry of Peshmerga Forces of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1226) stating that it was the sense of Congress that the Ministry of Peshmerga forces of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq had made significant contributions and sacrifices in the United Statesled campaign to degrade, dismantle, and destroy ISIS, and that the Department of Defense and Department of State should continue to work with and support the non-partisan forces of the Ministry of Peshmerga of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq in order to continue to develop their capabilities, promote security sector reforms, and enhance sustainability and interoperability with the other elements of the Iraqi security forces in order to provide for Iraq’s lasting security against terrorist threats. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that the United States-led coalition known as the Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) in partnership with the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), including the Kurdish Peshmerga, successfully liberated significant Iraqi territory from the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). While the conferees applaud this significant achievement, they also express concern that ISIS continues to pose a significant threat to Iraq, the region, and potentially the U.S. homeland. According to the August 2019 Lead Inspector General report for OIR, CJTF-OIR noted “deep-seated internal Kurdish political divisions and the Kurds’ continuing dispute with Iraq’s central government over a swath of disputed territory in northern Iraq rich in resources have allowed ISIS insurgents to exploit gaps between ISF and Peshmerga forces, which allows ISIS to regroup and plan attacks in the region.” Furthermore, the Lead Inspector General report for OIR stated “that the ISF and the Peshmerga has made progress this quarter in ongoing planning of ‘joint security mechanisms’—coordination to effectively combat ISIS in the disputed territories. However, on-the-ground cooperation between the ISF and the Peshmerga remained limited and security gaps remained.” The conferees believe a lasting defeat of ISIS is critical to maintaining a stable and tolerant Iraq in which all faiths, sects, and ethnicities are afforded equal protection and full integration into the government and society of Iraq and support the provision of U.S. security and other assistance for such purposes. As part of those efforts, the conferees support continued reform of, and materiel and training assistance to, Kurdish Peshmerga forces with the objective of enabling them to more effectively partner with the ISF, the United States, and other international partners. In furtherance of those objectives, the conferees believe continued efforts by the Peshmerga and ISF to establish joint security mechanisms are critical to addressing the threat of ISIS in disputed territories. The conferees strongly support continuation of the partnership between the U.S. military and ISF, including the Kurdish Peshmerga in furtherance of our shared interests. In the coming years, the conferees encourage the Department to normalize its support to the Peshmerga by focusing assistance on the reform and professionalization at the ministerial and unit level and the development of capabilities and interoperability with other ISF elements that contribute to the long-term stability of Iraq. Sense of Congress on supporting the return and repatriation of religious and ethnic minorities in Iraq to their ancestral homelands The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1227) that expressed the sense of Congress that it should remain a policy priority of the United States to support the safe return of displaced indigenous people of the Nineveh Plan and Sinjar to their ancestral homeland and that it should be a priority to ensure reintegration and restoration of fundamental human rights. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Prohibition of unauthorized military force in or against Iran The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1229) that would prohibit the use of Federal funds for any use of military force in or against Iran unless Congress has declared war or enacted a specific statutory authorization. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Report on Russian military involvement in the AFRICOM AOR The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1240) that would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act to provide a report to the appropriate congressional committees on military assistance provided by the Russian Federation or any private military corporations headquartered or registered in Russia to countries in the U.S. Africa Command area of responsibility (AOR). The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the Armed Services Committees of the House of Representatives and the Senate not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act on the presence, activities, and strategic objectives of the Russian Federation in Africa. The briefing shall address, at a minimum, the following: 1) A description of the presence, activities, and strategic objectives of the Russian Federation in Africa. 2) A description of all known bilateral agreements between Russia and African governments negotiated since 2014, including military and technical cooperation, arms sales, and mineral exploration. 3) An analysis of any direct or indirect military support Russia or private military corporations based in Russia are providing to state and non-state armed groups in Africa, including a description of the types of support. 4) A description of arms sales within the previous calendar year by the Russian defense sector to African countries, and an analysis of whether any of such arms sales constitute significant transactions within the meaning of section 231 of the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act of 2017 (22 U.S.C. 9525). 5) An analysis of the extent to which such arms sales may be in violation of United Nations Security Council-imposed arms embargoes in Africa, including with regard to South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Central African Republic. 6) An analysis of Russian disinformation and propaganda operations in African countries, and the extent to which such operations pose a risk to United States interests in Africa. 7) A description of any plans to counteract destabilizing Russian activities in Africa. 8) Any other matters the Secretary deems relevant. United States actions relating to Russian interference in elections for Federal office The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1240B) that would impose a prohibition on transactions relating to new Russian sovereign debt, require a determination of Russian interference in elections for Federal office, and create procedures for lifting and reimposing the prohibition.

Extension and modification of report on military and security developments involving North Korea The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1242) that would amend section 1236 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81) to extend and modify the requirement to provide a report on the military and security developments involving the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees note that Congress’s ability to evaluate the security threat posed by North Korea and to conduct oversight of United States policy toward North Korea has been impaired by a lack of transparency and associated delays in providing information necessary for such oversight. For example, the report to Congress on the status of North Korea’s nuclear program to establish a baseline of progress for negotiations with respect to denuclearization as required by section 1265 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) was recently submitted over 300 days late. The conferees reiterate support for diplomatic efforts to achieve the denuclearization of North Korea. The conferees urge the Administration to review its policies related to North Korea to ensure they are consistent with a priority on open and timely communication with the Congress. Report by Defense Intelligence Agency on certain military capabilities of China and Russia The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1250F) that would require the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency to submit to the Secretary of Defense and the appropriate congressional committees a report on the military capabilities of China and Russia. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes.

Topics to be covered in the briefing shall include: (1) a description of military activities of the United States and India, separately, in the Western Indian Ocean; (2) a description of military cooperation activities between the United States and India in the Western Indian Ocean; (3) a description of how the relevant geographic combatant commands coordinate their activities with the Indian military in the Western Indian Ocean and the mechanisms in place to ensure such cooperation is maximized; (4) a description of how the major defense partnership with India will be utilized to enhance cooperation in the Western Indian Ocean; and (5) areas of future opportunity to increase military engagement with India in the Western Indian Ocean. Sense of Congress on the enduring United States commitment to the Freely Associated States The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1250E) that would express the sense of the Congress concerning the enduring commitment of the United States to the Freely Associated States. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees recognize that the United States has strong and enduring interests in the security and prosperity of Oceania and the Western Pacific region, including close relationships with the countries of Palau, the Marshall Islands,and the Federated States of Micronesia, with whom the United States shares Compacts of Free Association. The United States and the Freely Associated States share values including democracy and human rights, as well as mutual interest in a free, open, and prosperous Indo-Pacific region. Therefore, the conferees believe the United States should expeditiously begin negotiations on the renewal of the Compacts of Free Association and conclude such negotiations prior to the expiration of the current compacts in 2023 and 2024.

The provision would require the Secretary of the Air Force to notify Congress of its down select decision before the public announcement, and require a report on the total defense investments made for each awardee and how such investments were accounted for in the evaluation of the offers. The conference agreement does not include either provision. Cybersecurity Defense Academy pilot program The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1636) that would require the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot program to create a public-private partnership that would train and place veterans as cybersecurity personnel within the Department of Defense.

Expansion of authority for access and information relating to cyberattacks on Department of Defense operationally critical contractors The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1644) that would amend section 391 of title 10, United States Code, to extend the ability of the Department of Defense (DOD) to react immediately to reports of intrusions that may affect critical DOD data. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees are sympathetic to the need for this additional authority, which the Department already has in the case of cleared defense contractors and which the Department requested via a legislative proposal. The Department relies on operationally critical contractors to move troops and supplies across the world, in peacetime and during conflict, and adversaries’ cyberattacks on these critical contractors pose a genuine threat to the Department’s conduct of operations. The conferees, however, are concerned that the Department’s legislative proposal was not scoped in such a way that this authority would be operationalized through contractual mechanisms. The conferees are also concerned that the Department’s broader efforts to improve the cybersecurity of its contractors and the Department’s ability to respond in the event of a cyberattack are primarily focused on the defense industrial base as traditionally conceived of—namely, those companies that supply the Department’s weapons systems. The cybersecurity of operationally critical contractors is at least as important as that of traditional defense industrial base contractors, and the conferees seek greater clarity as to what efforts are underway to ensure their cybersecurity. The conferees therefore direct the Commander of U.S. Transportation Command, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, the Chief Information Officer, and the Director of the Protecting Critical Technologies Task Force to brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives, no later than 90 days after the enactment of this Act, on: (1) The expected use-case for the requested authority; (2) The expected implementation through contractual mechanisms of such an authority; (3) The need for and purpose of subsections (2) and (3) of the legislative proposal; and (4) How the Department is treating operationally critical contractors within its broader efforts to secure the defense industrial base against cyber attacks and respond, in the event of a cyberattack, more aggressively in its investigatory and counterintelligence actions. The conferees look forward to this briefing and to legislating on this issue in the Fiscal Year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act. Briefing on memorandum of understanding relating to joint operational planning and control of cyberattacks of national scale The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1645) that would require the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing, not later than March 1, 2020, to the congressional defense and homeland security committees on the Joint Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security Memorandum of Understanding, signed by the Secretary of Defense on October 6, 2018. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The Senate recedes. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives a briefing on the Joint Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Secretary of Defense on October 6, 2018. The briefing shall include information on the following: (1) The number of planners assigned by the Department of Defense to line of effort three and line of effort four and the areas of expertise of those planners; (2) Whether the these planners are physically co-located with their counterparts in the Department of Homeland Security and are assigned full-time or part-time to line of effort three and line of effort four; (3) Under what authority these planners have been assigned; (4) The status of the development of operational plans and playbooks that will be implemented in response to actual cyberattacks of national scale; (5) The standing arrangements for interagency coordination and orchestration of response in the event of a cyberattack of national scale, including the status of the process established in Presidential Policy Directive-41 and the relevant principal, organization, and staff tasked with orchestrating a whole-of-government response; (6) The charter and implementation plan of the Joint Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security Cyber Protection and Defense Steering Group; (7) The status of any Department of Defense cyber intelligence activities and operational preparation of the environment intended specifically to deter and disrupt adversary cyberattacks on United States critical infrastructure and planned in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security; (8) The current operational planning activities and standing arrangements between the Department of Defense and Department of Energy, including a determination as to whether the Secretary of Energy can directly request Defense Support of Civil Authorities; and (9) The status of implementing section 1650 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) on the pilot program authority to enhance cybersecurity and resilience of critical infrastructure.

In addition, the amendment would provide that except as expressly provided in the law, any report submitted to Congress pursuant to a provision of the National Defense Authorization Act shall be written by a civilian employee of the Federal Government, a member of the Armed Forces, or both, and not by a contractor. This limitation will take effect for reports enacted in law on or after the date that is three years after the date of the enactment of this Act. Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on the actions to be taken to implement this limitation. Modification of annual report on civilian casualties in connection with United States military operations (sec. 1703) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec.1053) that would extend through December 31, 2025, the reporting requirement established by section 1057 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), as most recently amended by section 1062 of the John S.

The conferees acknowledge the President of the United States’ signing statement of August 13, 2018, that the Commission will be treated as an independent entity, separate from the executive branch due to its legislative branch appointees and the necessity to uphold the separation of powers. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide appropriate resources to enable the Commission to process and support security classification and administrative related issues as well as comply with other legal requirements.

DIVISION B—MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATIONS Summary and explanation of funding tables Division B of this Act authorizes funding for military construction projects of the Department of Defense. It includes funding authorizations for the construction and operation of military family housing as well as military construction for the reserve components, the defense agencies, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment Program. It also provides authorization for the base closure accounts that fund military construction, environmental cleanup, and other activities required to implement the decisions in base closure rounds. The tables contained in this Act provide the projectlevel authorizations for the military construction funding authorized in Division B of this Act and summarize that funding by account. The conferees continue to believe in the value and appropriateness of providing a full authorization but incremental authorization of appropriations for certain military construction projects. The conferees believe incremental funding of large and complex military construction projects enables the Department to execute additional infrastructure projects in a fiscal year, enables continuous congressional oversight, and provides opportunities to adjust the authorization of appropriations level for projects should issues arise or requirements change over the course of construction. In instances where the conference agreement provides full authorization but incremental authorization of appropriations for certain military construction projects, the committee expects the Department to award these projects in the year of authorization and not defer award until the full appropriation amount is received. Short title (sec. 2001) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 2001) that would designate division B of this Act as the ‘‘Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020.’’ The House amendment contained an identical provision (sec. 2001). The conference agreement includes this provision.

The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 2002). The House recedes. Effective date (sec. 2003) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 2003) that would provide an effective date for titles XXI through XXVII and title XXIX of October 1, 2019, or the date of the enactment of this Act, whichever is later. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 2003). The House recedes. TITLE XXI—ARMY MILITARY CONSTRUCTION Summary The budget request included $1,453,499,000 for Army military construction and $499,279,000 for family housing for fiscal year 2020. The conference agreement includes authorization of appropriations of $1,270,999,000 for military construction and $604,012,000 for family housing for the Army in fiscal year 2020. The agreement includes authorization and authorization of appropriations for 3 military construction projects that were not included in the budget request but submitted to the congressional defense committees as part of the Army's unfunded requirements list. These projects include: $40.0 million for an Air Traffic Control Tower and Terminal at Kwajalein Atoll; $21.0 million for a Railhead at Fort Drum, New York; and $18.5 million for a Vehicle Bridge at Fort Hood, Texas. The agreement also includes authorization and authorization of appropriations of $27.0 million for the Secretary of the Army to carry out Child Development Center projects, with prior notification to the congressional defense committees. The conferees recommend the Secretary use this authority to alleviate issues with the condition and capacity of Child Development Centers in support of military families. The agreement provides for full authorization and incremental authorization of appropriations in an amount equal to the Department’s ability to execute in the year of the authorization of appropriations for the following projects: Cyber Instruction Facility (Admin/Command) at Fort Gordon, Georgia; and the General Instruction Building at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. The agreement provides an additional $5,000,000 for Family Housing, Construction Army Planning and Design for the housing pilot program mandated in this Act. Finally, the conferees note that the budget request included $211.0 million in Army military construction as a placeholder to support the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force response to the challenges facing the management and oversight of Military Housing Privatization Initiative developments. The conferees support additional resources to hire additional civilian personnel at the headquarters and installation level to improve the management and oversight of MHPI developments. The conferees also support applying additional resources towards improved maintenance of governmentowned and operated housing units. However, the conferees believe these resources should be directed to the appropriate military departments’ family housing accounts. Therefore, the agreement recommends a reduction of $211.0 million from the placeholder, but an increase of $54.7 million for Army Family Housing Maintenance and $45.0 million for Army Housing Privatization Support. Authorized Army construction and land acquisition projects (sec. 2101) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 2101) that would authorize military construction projects for the active component of the Army for fiscal year 2020.

The conference agreement includes this provision. Modification of authority to carry out certain fiscal year 2019 projects (sec. 2104) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 2104) that would modify the authorization contained in section 2101(a) of the Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (division B of Public Law 115–232) for the construction of a weapon maintenance shop at Anniston Army Depot, Alabama. The House bill contained a similar provision (sec. 2104). The Senate recedes.

The House amendment contained no similar provisions. The House recedes with an amendment that would make various modifications to such provisions. DIVISION F—OTHER MATTERS TITLE LXXI—SANCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO NORTH KOREA Sanctions with respect to North Korea and Financial Industry Guidance to Halt Trafficking Act (secs. 7101-7155) The Senate bill contained multiple provisions (sections 6901, 6911-6913, 6921-6925, 6931-6935, 6941-6946, 6951-6954, 6961-6966) that would strengthen United States sanctions on North Korea, impose oversight measures concerning sanctions on North Korea, and strengthen the Department of Treasury’s role in combating human trafficking, among other measures. The House amendment contained multiple similar provisions (sections 1099Z-1-1099Z-8). The House recedes with an amendment that would provide for significant enhancement of economic sanctions on North Korea and foreign persons involved with North Korea, including new secondary banking sanctions and broadening primary trade-based sanctions provided for in the North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-122), hereafter referred to as NKSPEA. In addition, it would provide for increased congressional oversight in response to North Korea’s aggressive nuclear and ballistic missile testing, sanctions evasion, and global compliance failures weakening enforcement of United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions. The amendment would also provide for significant guidance to the financial industry on strengthening measures to combat human trafficking. More specifically, the amendment would impose such “secondary banking sanctions” as asset blocking and restrictions on correspondent accounts, and any other penalty authorized by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (Public Law 95223), hereafter referred to as IEEPA, against foreign financial institutions that provide financial services to certain sanctioned persons. Furthermore, the amendment would prohibit transactions with the same types of certain sanctioned persons by persons owned or controlled by U.S. financial institutions, and provides for civil IEEPA penalty authority against both the person owned or controlled and as appropriate its parent U.S. financial institution. The amendment would also expand on the list of designation requirements for mandatory sanctions provided in NKSPEA, by adding as mandatory: any person that engages in the import or export, including of related services or technology, of coal, textiles, seafood, iron, or iron ore; and in crude oil or refined petroleum products above UNSC-set limits. The amendment would also require the imposition of sanctions with respect to any person who engages in, or otherwise facilitates: a transfer of North Korean government funds or property, contributing to a material violation of a UNSC resolution; the exportation of workers from North Korea; the sale or transfer of vessels to North Korea, or their registration, chartering or insurance; bribery of a North Korean official; or the significant misappropriation of public funds. The amendment would also provide for enhanced guidance to the financial industry to combat human trafficking by: elevating human trafficking as an enumerated function of the U.S. Treasury Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence and requiring increased coordination and reporting related to human trafficking; strengthening the role that anti-money laundering and other tools play in combating human trafficking by requiring the U.S. Inter-Agency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking to provide certain policy recommendations to federal regulators and to Congress; and underscoring the sense of Congress that adequate funding be provided for public outreach and critical federal efforts to combat human trafficking at home and abroad. TITLE LXXII—SANCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO FOREIGN TRAFFICKERS OF ILLICIT SYNTHETIC OPIOIDS Sanctions with respect to foreign traffickers of illicit synthetic opioids (secs. 7201-7235) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6801-6837) that would strengthen United States sanctions against foreign synthetic opioid traffickers, financial institutions, and others that assist such entities. It would also establish a Commission on Combating Synthetic Opioid Trafficking to report on how to combat more effectively the flow of synthetic opioids from China, Mexico, and elsewhere, among other measures. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1701-1736). The House recedes with a clarifying amendment. TITLE LXXIII-PFAS Definition of Administrator (sec. 7302) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6701) that would define the term “Administrator” for this title. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes. Drinking Water (secs. 7311-7312) The Senate bill contained a series of provisions (sec. 6721-6724) that would require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection agency to promulgate a national primary drinking water regulation for, require monitoring of, and establish drinking water state revolving funds for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with an amendment that would eliminate the requirement to establish a national primary drinking water standard and the accompanying enforcement provision and makes various other technical modifications. PFAS Release Disclosure (secs. 7321) The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 6711) that would include Perfluorooctanoic acid, Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and their associated salts in the toxics release inventory. The House amendment contained no similar provision. The House recedes with a technical amendment. USGS Performance Standard (secs. 7331-7335) The Senate bill contained provisions (sec. 6731-6736) that would direct the director of the United States Geological Survey to establish a performance standard for the detection of highly fluorinated compounds, to conduct nationwide sampling, and to use the data to inform and enhance assessments of exposure. The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 330G) The House recedes with multiple technical amendments.
