1041(c), Dec. 2, 2002, 116 Stat. 2646, provided that:

''SEC. 231. SHORT TITLE.

''This subtitle may be cited as the 'Ballistic Missile Defense

Act of 1995'.

''SEC. 232. FINDINGS.

''Congress makes the following findings:

''(1) The emerging threat that is posed to the national

security interests of the United States by the proliferation of

ballistic missiles is significant and growing, both in terms of

numbers of missiles and in terms of the technical capabilities of

those missiles.

''(2) The deployment of ballistic missile defenses is a

necessary, but not sufficient, element of a broader strategy to

discourage both the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction

and the proliferation of the means of their delivery and to

defend against the consequences of such proliferation.

''(3) The deployment of effective Theater Missile Defense

systems can deter potential adversaries of the United States from

escalating a conflict by threatening or attacking United States

forces or the forces or territory of coalition partners or allies

of the United States with ballistic missiles armed with weapons

of mass destruction to offset the operational and technical

advantages of the United States and its coalition partners and

allies.

''(4) United States intelligence officials have provided

intelligence estimates to congressional committees that (A) the

trend in missile proliferation is toward longer range and more

sophisticated ballistic missiles, (B) North Korea may deploy an

intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching Alaska or

beyond within five years, and (C) although a new, indigenously

developed ballistic missile threat to the continental United

States is not foreseen within the next ten years, determined

countries can acquire intercontinental ballistic missiles in the

near future and with little warning by means other than

indigenous development.

''(5) The development and deployment by the United States and

its allies of effective defenses against ballistic missiles of

all ranges will reduce the incentives for countries to acquire

such missiles or to augment existing missile capabilities.

''(6) The concept of mutual assured destruction (based upon an

offense-only form of deterrence), which is the major

philosophical rationale underlying the ABM Treaty, is now

questionable as a basis for stability in a multipolar world in

which the United States and the states of the former Soviet Union

are seeking to normalize relations and eliminate Cold War

attitudes and arrangements.

''(7) The development and deployment of a National Missile

Defense system against the threat of limited ballistic missile

attacks -

''(A) would strengthen deterrence at the levels of forces

agreed to by the United States and Russia under the Strategic

Arms Reduction Talks Treaty (START-I); and

''(B) would further strengthen deterrence if reductions below

the levels permitted under START-I should be agreed to and

implemented in the future.

''(8) The distinction made during the Cold War, based upon the

technology of the time, between strategic ballistic missiles and

nonstrategic ballistic missiles, which resulted in the

distinction made in the ABM Treaty between strategic defense and

nonstrategic defense, has become obsolete because of

technological advancement (including the development by North

Korea of long-range Taepo-Dong I and Taepo-Dong II missiles) and,

therefore, that distinction in the ABM Treaty should be reviewed.

''SEC. 233. BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE POLICY.

''It is the policy of the United States -

''(1) to deploy affordable and operationally effective theater

missile defenses to protect forward-deployed and expeditionary

elements of the Armed Forces of the United States and to

complement the missile defense capabilities of forces of

coalition partners and of allies of the United States; and

''(2) to seek a cooperative, negotiated transition to a regime

that does not feature an offense-only form of deterrence as the

basis for strategic stability.

''SEC. 234. THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE ARCHITECTURE.

''(a) Establishment of Core Program. - To implement the policy

established in paragraph (1) of section 233, the Secretary of

Defense shall restructure the core theater missile defense program

to consist of the following systems:

''(1) The Patriot PAC-3 system.

''(2) The Navy Area Defense system.

''(3) The Theater High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system.

''(4) The Navy Theater Wide system.

''(b) Use of Streamlined Acquisition Procedures. - The Secretary

of Defense shall prescribe and use streamlined acquisition policies

and procedures to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of

developing and deploying the theater missile defense systems

specified in subsection (a).

''(c) Interoperability and Support of Core Systems. - To maximize

effectiveness and flexibility of the systems comprising the core

theater missile defense program, the Secretary of Defense shall

ensure that those systems are integrated and complementary and are

fully capable of exploiting external sensor and battle management

support from systems such as -

''(A) the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) system of the

Navy;

''(B) airborne sensors; and

''(C) space-based sensors (including, in particular, the Space

and Missile Tracking System).

''(d) Follow-on Systems. - (1) The Secretary of Defense shall

prepare an affordable development plan for theater missile defense

systems to be developed as follow-on systems to the core systems

specified in subsection (a). The Secretary shall make the selection

of a system for inclusion in the plan based on the capability of

the system to satisfy military requirements not met by the systems

in the core program and on the capability of the system to use

prior investments in technologies, infrastructure, and

battle-management capabilities that are incorporated in, or

associated with, the systems in the core program.

''(2) The Secretary may not proceed with the development of a

follow-on theater missile defense system beyond the

Demonstration/Validation stage of development unless the Secretary

designates that system as a part of the core program under this

section and submits to the congressional defense committees

(Committees on Armed Services and on Appropriations of the Senate

and House of Representatives) notice of that designation. The

Secretary shall include with any such notification a report

describing -

''(A) the requirements for the system and the specific threats

that such system is designed to counter;

''(B) how the system will relate to, support, and build upon

existing core systems;

''(C) the planned acquisition strategy for the system; and

''(D) a preliminary estimate of total program cost for that

system and the effect of development and acquisition of such

system on Department of Defense budget projections.

''(e) Program Accountability Report. - (1) As part of the annual

report of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (now Missile

Defense Agency) required by section 224 of Public Law 101-189 (10

U.S.C. 2431 note), the Secretary of Defense shall describe the

technical milestones, the schedule, and the cost of each phase of

development and acquisition (together with total estimated program

costs) for each core and follow-on theater missile defense program.

''(2) As part of such report, the Secretary shall describe, with

respect to each program covered in the report, any variance in the

technical milestones, program schedule milestones, and costs for

the program compared with the information relating to that program

in the report submitted in the previous year and in the report

submitted in the first year in which that program was covered.

''SEC. 235. PROHIBITION ON USE OF FUNDS TO IMPLEMENT AN

INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT CONCERNING THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE

SYSTEMS.

''(a) Findings. - (1) Congress hereby reaffirms -

''(A) the finding in (former) section 234(a)(7) of the National

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law

103-160; 107 Stat. 1595; 10 U.S.C. 2431 note) that the ABM Treaty

was not intended to, and does not, apply to or limit research,

development, testing, or deployment of missile defense systems,

system upgrades, or system components that are designed to

counter modern theater ballistic missiles, regardless of the

capabilities of such missiles, unless those systems, system

upgrades, or system components are tested against or have

demonstrated capabilities to counter modern strategic ballistic

missiles; and

''(B) the statement in section 232 of the National Defense

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1995 (Public Law 103-337; 108

Stat. 2700) that the United States shall not be bound by any

international agreement entered into by the President that would

substantively modify the ABM Treaty unless the agreement is

entered into pursuant to the treaty making power of the President

under the Constitution.

''(2) Congress also finds that the demarcation standard described

in subsection (b)(1) for compliance of a missile defense system,

system upgrade, or system component with the ABM Treaty is based

upon current technology.

''(b) Sense of Congress Concerning Compliance Policy. - It is the

sense of Congress that -

''(1) unless a missile defense system, system upgrade, or

system component (including one that exploits data from

space-based or other external sensors) is flight tested in an

ABM-qualifying flight test (as defined in subsection (e)), that

system, system upgrade, or system component has not, for purposes

of the ABM Treaty, been tested in an ABM mode nor been given

capabilities to counter strategic ballistic missiles and,

therefore, is not subject to any application, limitation, or

obligation under the ABM Treaty; and

''(2) any international agreement that would limit the

research, development, testing, or deployment of missile defense

systems, system upgrades, or system components that are designed

to counter modern theater ballistic missiles in a manner that

would be more restrictive than the compliance criteria specified

in paragraph (1) should be entered into only pursuant to the

treaty making powers of the President under the Constitution.

''(c) Prohibition on Funding. - Funds appropriated or otherwise

made available to the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1996

may not be obligated or expended to implement an agreement, or any

understanding with respect to interpretation of the ABM Treaty,

between the United States and any of the independent states of the

former Soviet Union entered into after January 1, 1995, that -

''(1) would establish a demarcation between theater missile

defense systems and anti-ballistic missile systems for purposes

of the ABM Treaty; or

''(2) would restrict the performance, operation, or deployment

of United States theater missile defense systems.

''(d) Exceptions. - Subsection (c) does not apply -

''(1) to the extent provided by law in an Act enacted after

this Act (Pub. L. 104-106, enacted Feb. 10, 1996);

''(2) to expenditures to implement that portion of any such

agreement or understanding that implements the policy set forth

in subsection (b)(1); or

''(3) to expenditures to implement any such agreement or

understanding that is approved as a treaty or by law.

''(e) ABM-Qualifying Flight Test Defined. - For purposes of this

section, an ABM-qualifying flight test is a flight test against a

ballistic missile which, in that flight test, exceeds (1) a range

of 3,500 kilometers, or (2) a velocity of 5 kilometers per second.

''SEC. 236. BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE COOPERATION WITH ALLIES.

''It is in the interest of the United States to develop its own

missile defense capabilities in a manner that will permit the

United States to complement the missile defense capabilities

developed and deployed by its allies and possible coalition

partners. Therefore, the Congress urges the President -

''(1) to pursue high-level discussions with allies of the

United States and selected other states on the means and methods

by which the parties on a bilateral basis can cooperate in the

development, deployment, and operation of ballistic missile

defenses;

''(2) to take the initiative within the North Atlantic Treaty

Organization to develop consensus in the Alliance for a timely

deployment of effective ballistic missile defenses by the

Alliance; and

''(3) in the interim, to seek agreement with allies of the

United States and selected other states on steps the parties

should take, consistent with their national interests, to reduce

the risks posed by the threat of limited ballistic missile

attacks, such steps to include -

''(A) the sharing of early warning information derived from

sensors deployed by the United States and other states;

''(B) the exchange on a reciprocal basis of technical data

and technology to support both joint development programs and

the sale and purchase of missile defense systems and

components; and

''(C) operational level planning to exploit current missile

defense capabilities and to help define future requirements.

''SEC. 237. ABM TREATY DEFINED.

''For purposes of this subtitle, the term 'ABM Treaty' means the

Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet

Socialist Republics on the Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missile

Systems, and signed at Moscow on May 26, 1972, and includes the

Protocols to that Treaty, signed at Moscow on July 3, 1974.

''SEC. 238. REPEAL OF MISSILE DEFENSE ACT OF 1991.

''The Missile Defense Act of 1991 (Pub. L. 102-190, div. A,

title II, part C) (10 U.S.C. 2431 note) is repealed.''

contract and the approval of such sponsoring agreement for a period

of at least 30 days of continuous session of Congress beginning on

the day after the date on which Congress receives the copies

referred to in paragraph (4).

''(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the continuity of a

session of Congress is broken only by an adjournment sine die at

the end of the second regular session of that Congress. In

computing the 30-day period for such purposes, days on which either

House of Congress is not in session because of an adjournment of

more than three days to a day certain shall be excluded.

new FFRDC so that such compensation shall be comparable to the

amount of compensation payable to senior executives of comparable

federally funded research and development centers for similar

services;

''(4) require that the new FFRDC publicly disclose the salary

of its chief executive officer;

''(5) prohibit current or former members of the Strategic

Defense Initiative Advisory Committee from serving as members of

the Board of Trustees of the FFRDC if such members constitute 10

or more percent of the Board of Trustees or from serving as

officers of the new FFRDC;

made available under this section to any local community for any

community service or facility, the Secretary shall consult with the

head of the department or agency concerned with the type of service

or facility for which financial assistance is being made available

and shall take into consideration -

''(1) the time lag between the initial impact of increased

population in any such community and any increase in the local

tax base which will result from such increased population;

''(2) the possible temporary nature of the increased population

and the long-range cost impact on the permanent residents of any

such community;

''(3) the initial capitalization required for municipal sewer

and water systems;

''(4) the initial operating cost for upgrading municipal

services; and

''(5) such other pertinent factors as the Secretary considers

appropriate.

MX MISSILE AND BASING MODE

Pub. L. 96-342, title II, Sec. 202, Sept. 8, 1980, 94 Stat. 1079,

provided that:

''(a) The Congress finds that a survivable land-based

intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) system is vital to the

security of the United States and to a stable strategic balance

between the United States and the Soviet Union and that timely

deployment of a new basing mode is essential to the survivability

of this Nation's land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles.

It is, therefore, the purpose of this section to commit the

Congress to the development and deployment of the MX missile

system, consisting of 200 missiles and 4,600 hardened shelters, and

to insure that deployment of the entire MX system is carried out as

soon as practicable.

''(b) The Secretary of Defense shall proceed immediately with the

full-scale engineering development of the MX missile and a Multiple

Protective Structure (MPS) basing mode and shall continue such

development in a manner that will achieve an Initial Operational

Capability of such missile and basing mode not later than December

31, 1986.

''(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the initial

phase of construction shall be limited to 2,300 protective shelters

for the MX missile in the initial deployment area.

''(d) In accordance with the finding of the Congress expressed in

subsection (a), a full system of at least 4,600 protective shelters

may be deployed in the initial deployment area if, after completion

of a study to be conducted by the Secretary of Defense of an

alternate site for a portion of the system, it is determined by the

Congress that adverse cost, military considerations, or other

reasons preclude split basing.''

DEVELOPMENT OF MX MISSILE SYSTEM

Pub. L. 96-29, title II, Sec. 202, June 27, 1979, 93 Stat. 79,

provided that:

''(a) It is the sense of the Congress that maintaining a

survivable land-based intercontinental ballistic missile system is

vital to the security of the United States and that development of

a new basing mode for land-based intercontinental ballistic

missiles is necessary to assure the survivability of the land-based

system. To this end, the development of the MX missile, together

with a new basing mode for such missile, should proceed so as to

achieve Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for both such missile

and such basing mode at the earliest practicable date.

''(b) In addition, it is the sense of the Congress that the

basing mode for the MX missile should be restricted to location on

the least productive land available that is suitable for such

purpose.

''(c) In accordance with the sense of Congress expressed in

subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense shall proceed immediately

with full scale engineering development of the missile basing mode

known as the Multiple Protective Structure (MPS) system

concurrently with full scale engineering development of the MX

missile, unless and until the Secretary of Defense certifies to the

Congress that an alternative basing mode is militarily or

technologically superior to, and is more cost effective than, the

MPS system or the President informs the Congress that in his view

the MPS system is not consistent with United States national

security interests.

''(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit or

restrict the study of alternative basing modes for land-based

intercontinental ballistic missiles.''

communities located near the TRIDENT Support Site Bangor,

Washington, in meeting the costs of providing increased municipal

services and facilities to the residents of such communities, if

the Secretary determines that there is an immediate and substantial

increase in the need for such services and facilities in such

excessive financial burden will be incurred by such communities as

a result of the increased need for such services and facilities.

''(b) The Secretary of Defense shall carry out the provisions of

this section through existing Federal programs. The Secretary is

authorized to supplement funds made available under such Federal

programs to the extent necessary to carry out the provisions of

this section, and is authorized to provide financial assistance to

made available under this section to any local community for any

community service or facility, the Secretary of Defense shall

consult with the head of the department or agency of the Federal

Government concerned with the type of service or facility for which

financial assistance is being made available and shall take into

consideration (1) the time lag between the initial impact of

increased population in any such community and any increase in the

local tax base which will result from such increased population,

(2) the possible temporary nature of the increased population and

the long-range cost impact on the permanent residents of any such

community, and (3) such other pertinent factors as the Secretary of

Defense deems appropriate.

''(d) Any funds appropriated to the Department of Defense for the

fiscal year beginning July 1, 1974, for carrying out the TRIDENT

Weapon System shall be utilized by the Secretary of Defense in

carrying out the provisions of this section to the extent that

funds are unavailable under other Federal programs. Funds

appropriated to the Department of Defense for any fiscal year

beginning after June 30, 1975, for carrying out the TRIDENT Weapon

System may, to the extent specifically authorized in an annual

Military Construction Authorization Act, be utilized by the

Secretary of Defense in carrying out the provision of this section

to the extent that funds are unavailable under other Federal

programs.

''(e) The Secretary shall transmit to the Committees on Armed

Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives semiannual

reports indicating the total amount expended in the case of each

local community which was provided assistance under the authority

of this section during the preceding six-month period, the specific

projects for which assistance was provided during such period, and

the total amount provided for each such project during such

(1) The terms ''program acquisition unit cost'', ''procurement

unit cost'', and ''major contract'' have the same meanings as

provided in section 2432(a) of this title.

(2) The term ''Baseline Estimate'', with respect to a unit cost

report that is submitted under this section to the service

acquisition executive designated by the Secretary concerned on a

major defense acquisition program, means the cost estimate

included in the baseline description for the program under

section 2435 of this title.

(3) The term ''procurement program'' means a program for which

funds for procurement are authorized to be appropriated in a

fiscal year.

(b) The program manager for a major defense acquisition program

(other than a program not required to be included in the Selected

Acquisition Report for that quarter under section 2432(b)(3) of

this title) shall, on a quarterly basis, submit to the service

acquisition executive designated by the Secretary concerned a

written report on the unit costs of the program. Each report shall

be submitted not more than 30 calendar days after the end of that

quarter. The program manager shall include in each such unit cost

report the following information with respect to the program (as of

the last day of the quarter for which the report is made):

(1) The program acquisition unit cost.

(2) In the case of a procurement program, the procurement unit

cost.

(3) Any cost variance or schedule variance in a major contract

under the program since the contract was entered into.

(4) Any changes from program schedule milestones or program

performances reflected in the baseline description established

under section 2435 of this title that are known, expected, or

anticipated by the program manager.

(c) If the program manager of a major defense acquisition program

for which a unit cost report has previously been submitted under

subsection (b) determines at any time during a quarter that there

is reasonable cause to believe -

(1) that the program acquisition unit cost for the program has

increased by at least 15 percent over the program acquisition

unit cost for the program as shown in the Baseline Estimate; or

(2) in the case of a major defense acquisition program that is

a procurement program, that the procurement unit cost for the

program has increased by at least 15 percent over the procurement

unit cost for the program as reflected in the Baseline Estimate;

and if a unit cost report indicating an increase of such percentage

or more has not previously been submitted to the service

acquisition executive designated by the Secretary concerned, then

the program manager shall immediately submit to such service

acquisition executive a unit cost report containing the

information, determined as of the date of the report, required

under subsection (b).

(d)(1) When a unit cost report is submitted to the service

acquisition executive designated by the Secretary concerned under

this section with respect to a major defense acquisition program,

the service acquisition executive shall determine whether the

current program acquisition unit cost for the program has increased

by at least 15 percent, or by at least 25 percent, over the program

acquisition unit cost for the program as shown in the Baseline

Estimate.

(2) When a unit cost report is submitted to the service

acquisition executive designated by the Secretary concerned under

this section with respect to a major defense acquisition program

that is a procurement program, the service acquisition executive,

in addition to the determination under paragraph (1), shall

determine whether the procurement unit cost for the program has

increased by at least 15 percent, or by at least 25 percent, over

the procurement unit cost for the program as reflected in the

Baseline Estimate.

(3) If, based upon the service acquisition executive's

determination, the Secretary concerned determines that the current

program acquisition unit cost has increased by at least 15 percent,

or by at least 25 percent, as determined under paragraph (1) or

that the procurement unit cost has increased by at least 15

percent, or by at least 25 percent, as determined under paragraph

(2), the Secretary shall notify Congress in writing of such

determination and of the increase with respect to such program. In

the case of a determination based on a quarterly report submitted

in accordance with subsection (b), the Secretary shall submit the

notification to Congress within 45 days after the end of the

quarter. In the case of a determination based on a report

submitted in accordance with subsection (c), the Secretary shall

submit the notification to Congress within 45 days after the date

of that report. The Secretary shall include in the notification

the date on which the determination was made.

(e)(1)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), whenever the

Secretary concerned determines under subsection (d) that the

program acquisition unit cost or the procurement unit cost of a

major defense acquisition program has increased by at least 15

percent, a Selected Acquisition Report shall be submitted to

Congress for the first fiscal-year quarter ending on or after the

date of the determination or for the fiscal-year quarter which

immediately precedes the first fiscal-year quarter ending on or

after that date. The report shall include the information

Secretary is not required to file a Selected Acquisition Report

under subparagraph (A) but shall include the information described

in subsection (g) regarding that program in the comprehensive

annual Selected Acquisition Report submitted in that quarter.

(2) If the percentage increase in the program acquisition unit

cost or procurement unit cost of a major defense acquisition

program (as determined by the Secretary under subsection (d))

exceeds 25 percent, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to

Congress, before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the day
