Senate Amendments For H.R.158531.
S.AMDT.2011 to
H.R.1585
In the nature of a substitute. Substitutes the text of S 1547 in place of
the text of HR 1585 32.
S.AMDT.2012 to
H.R.1585
To specify minimum periods between deployment of units and members of the
Armed Forces for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
The amendment requires that no member of the Armed Forces can be deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan unless the period between the upcoming deployment and the end of the last deployment is longer than the length of the previous deployment. It is the sense of Congress that the period between deployments should be twice the time of the previous deployment. The amendment covers covers all regular Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard. Reserve units may not be deployed sooner than three years since the last deployment. Units covered would be the Army Reserve and National Guard, the Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force Reserves, the Air National Guard and the Coast Guard Reserve. It is the sense of Congress that the optimal deployment of a reserve unit should be no more than one year and that five years should pass before redeployment.
The President my waive the deployment schedules if he can certify "to Congress that the deployment of the unit or member is necessary to meet an operational emergency posing a threat to vital national security interests of the United States"
Requests by military personnel who want to redeploy sooner can be granted by the Chiefs of Staff or Commandants of the various military forces.

The Lieberman amendment was agreed to but was modified in a voice agreement (text of the modification is yet to be published) to clarify that the amendment does not authorize US military actions against Iran. The amendment requires that within 30 days after enactment of HR 1585 the Secretary of State and US Commander of multi-national forces in Iraq submit a report to Congress assessing in detail:
"Amendments on Iran: The Administration strongly opposes amendments to the bill to restrict the ability of the United States to deal effectively with the threats to regional security posed by the conduct of Iran, including Iran’s efforts to develop nuclear weapons. The Administration also notes that provisions of law that purport to direct or prohibit international negotiations, covert action, or use of the armed forces are inconsistent with the Constitution’s commitment exclusively to the presidency of the executive power, the function of Commander-in-Chief, and the authority to conduct the Nation’s foreign policy. If the bill were presented to the President with provisions that would prevent the President from protecting America and allied and cooperating nations from threats posed by Iran, the President’ senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill." 97.

H.R.1585
(Sense of Senate that it is in national security interest to the US that Iraq not
become a safe haven for terrorists). a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings: (1) A failed state in Iraq would become a safe haven for Islamic radicals, including al Qaeda and Hezbollah, who are determined to attack the United States and United States allies. (2) The Iraq Study Group report found that ``[a] chaotic Iraq could provide a still stronger base of operations for terrorists who seek to act regionally or even globally''. (3) The Iraq Study Group noted that ``Al Qaeda will portray any failure by the United States in Iraq as a significant victory that will be featured prominently as they recruit for their cause in the region and around the world''. (4) A National Intelligence Estimate concluded that the consequences of a premature withdrawal from Iraq would be that-- (A) Al Qaeda would attempt to use Anbar province to plan further attacks outside of Iraq; (B) neighboring countries would consider actively intervening in Iraq; and (C) sectarian violence would significantly increase in Iraq, accompanied by massive civilian casualties and displacement. (5) The Iraq Study Group found that ``a premature American departure from Iraq would almost certainly produce greater sectarian violence and further deterioration of conditions. . .. The near-term results would be a significant power vacuum, greater human suffering, regional destabilization, and a threat to the global economy. Al Qaeda would depict our withdrawal as a historic victory.'' (6) A failed state in Iraq could lead to broader regional conflict, possibly involving Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. (7) The Iraq Study group noted that ``Turkey could send troops into northern Iraq to prevent Kurdistan from declaring independence''. (8) The Iraq Study Group noted that ``Iran could send troops to restore stability in southern Iraq and perhaps gain control of oil fields. The regional influence of Iran could rise at a time when that country is on a path to producing nuclear weapons.'' (9) A failed state in Iraq would lead to massive humanitarian suffering, including widespread ethnic cleansing and countless refugees and internally displaced persons, many of whom will be tortured and killed for having assisted Coalition forces. (10) A recent editorial in the New York Times stated, ``Americans must be clear that Iraq, and the region around it, could be even bloodier and more chaotic after Americans leave. There could be reprisals against those who worked with American forces, further ethnic cleansing, even genocide. Potentially destabilizing refugee flows could hit Jordan and Syria. Iran and Turkey could be tempted to make power grabs.'' (11) The Iraq Study Group found that ``[i]f we leave and Iraq descends into chaos, the long-range consequences could eventually require the United States to return''. (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that-- (1) the Senate should commit itself to a strategy that will not leave a failed state in Iraq; and (2) the Senate should not pass legislation that will undermine our military's ability to prevent a failed state in Iraq.

S.AMDT.2222 to H.R.1585 To prevent nuclear terrorism, and for other purposes. Congress makes the following findings: (1) The possibility that terrorists may acquire and use a nuclear weapon against the United States is the most horrific threat that our Nation faces. (2) The September 2006 ``National Strategy for Combating Terrorism'' issued by the White House states, ``Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of terrorists is one of the gravest threats we face.'' (3) Former Senator and cofounder of the Nuclear Threat Initiative Sam Nunn has stated, ``Stockpiles of loosely guarded nuclear weapons material are scattered around the world, offering inviting targets for theft or sale. We are working on this, but I believe that the threat is outrunning our response.''. (4) Existing programs intended to secure, monitor, and reduce nuclear stockpiles, redirect nuclear scientists, and interdict nuclear smuggling have made substantial progress, but additional efforts are needed to reduce the threat of nuclear terrorism as much as possible. (5) Former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has said that a nuclear terror attack ``would not only cause widespread death and destruction, but would stagger the world economy and thrust tens of millions of people into dire poverty''. (6) United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004) reaffirms the need to combat by all means, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts, and directs all countries, in accordance with their national procedures, to adopt and enforce effective laws that prohibit any non-state actor from manufacturing, acquiring, possessing, developing, transporting, transferring, or using nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons and their means of delivery, in particular for terrorist purposes, and to prohibit attempts to engage in any of the foregoing activities, participate in them as an accomplice, or assist or finance them. (7) The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Dr. Mohammed ElBaradei, has said that it is a ``race against time'' to prevent a terrorist attack using a nuclear weapon. (8) The International Atomic Energy Agency plays a vital role in coordinating efforts to protect nuclear materials and to combat nuclear smuggling. (9) Legislation sponsored by Senator Richard Lugar, Senator Pete Domenici, and former Senator Sam Nunn has resulted in groundbreaking programs to secure nuclear weapons and materials and to help ensure that such weapons and materials do not fall into the hands of terrorists. SEC. 3133. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE PREVENTION OF NUCLEAR TERRORISM. It is the sense of Congress that-- (1) the President should make the prevention of a nuclear terrorist attack on the United States of the highest priority; (2) the President should accelerate programs, requesting additional funding as appropriate, to prevent nuclear terrorism, including combating nuclear smuggling, securing and accounting for nuclear weapons, and eliminating, removing, or securing and accounting for formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material wherever such quantities may be; (3) the United States, together with the international community, should take a comprehensive approach to reducing the danger of nuclear terrorism, including by making additional efforts to identify and eliminate terrorist groups that aim to acquire nuclear weapons, to ensure that nuclear weapons worldwide are secure and accounted for and that formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material worldwide are eliminated, removed, or secure and accounted for to a degree sufficient to defeat the threat that terrorists and criminals have shown they can pose, and to increase the ability to find and stop terrorist efforts to manufacture nuclear explosives or to transport nuclear explosives and materials anywhere in the world; (4) within such a comprehensive approach, a high priority must be placed on ensuring that all nuclear weapons worldwide are secure and accounted for and that all formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material worldwide are eliminated, removed, or secure and accounted for; and (5) the International Atomic Energy Agency should be funded appropriately to fulfill its role in coordinating international efforts to protect nuclear material and to combat nuclear smuggling. SEC. 3134. MINIMUM SECURITY STANDARD FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND FORMULA QUANTITIES OF STRATEGIC SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL. (a) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States to work with the international community to take all possible steps to ensure that all nuclear weapons around the world are secure and accounted for and that all formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material are eliminated, removed, or secure and accounted for to a level sufficient to defeat the threats posed by terrorists and criminals. (b) International Nuclear Security Standard.--In furtherance of the policy described in subsection (a), and consistent with the requirement for ``appropriate effective'' physical protection contained in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004), as well as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, the President, in consultation with relevant Federal departments and agencies, shall seek the broadest possible international agreement on a global standard for nuclear security that-- (1) ensures that nuclear weapons and formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material are secure and accounted for to a sufficient level to defeat the threats posed by terrorists and criminals; (2) takes into account the limitations of equipment and human performance; and (3) includes steps to provide confidence that the needed measures have in fact been implemented. (c) International Efforts.--In furtherance of the policy described in subsection (a), the President, in consultation with relevant Federal departments and agencies, shall-- (1) work with other countries and the International Atomic Energy Agency to assist as appropriate, and if necessary, work to convince, the governments of any and all countries in possession of nuclear weapons or formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material to ensure that security is upgraded to meet the standard described in [Page: S9271] (b) as rapidly as possible and in a manner that-- (A) accounts for the nature of the terrorist and criminal threat in each such country; and (B) ensures that any measures to which the United States and any such country agree are sustained after United States and other international assistance ends; (2) ensure that United States financial and technical assistance is available as appropriate to countries for which the provision of such assistance would accelerate the implementation of, or improve the effectiveness of, such security upgrades; and (3) work with the governments of other countries to ensure that effective nuclear security rules, accompanied by effective regulation and enforcement, are put in place to govern all nuclear weapons and formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material around the world. SEC. 3135. ANNUAL REPORT. (a) In General.--Not later than September 1 of each year, the President, in consultation with relevant Federal departments and agencies, shall submit to Congress a report on the security of nuclear weapons, formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material, radiological materials, and related equipment worldwide. (b) Elements.--The report required under subsection (a) shall include the following: (1) A section on the programs for the security and accounting of nuclear weapons and the elimination, removal, and security and accounting of formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material and radiological materials, established under section 3132(b) of the Ronald W.

(B) A list of such facilities and sites determined to be of the highest priority for security and accounting of nuclear weapons and related equipment, or the elimination, removal, or security and accounting of formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material and radiological materials, taking into account risk of theft from such facilities and sites, and organized by level of priority. (C) A prioritized diplomatic and technical plan, including measurable milestones, metrics, estimated timetables, and estimated costs of implementation, on the following: (i) The security and accounting of nuclear weapons and related equipment and the elimination, removal, or security and accounting of formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material and radiological materials at such facilities and sites worldwide. (ii) Ensuring that security upgrades and accounting reforms implemented at such facilities and sites worldwide using the financial and technical assistance of the United States are effectively sustained after such assistance ends. (iii) The role that international agencies and the international community have committed to play, together with a plan for securing contributions. (D) An assessment of the progress made in implementing the plan described in subparagraph (C), including a description of the efforts of foreign governments to secure and account for nuclear weapons and related equipment and to eliminate, remove, or secure and account for formula quantities of strategic special nuclear material and radiological materials. (2) A section on efforts to establish and implement the international nuclear security standard described in section 3134(b) and related policies. (c) Form.--The report may be submitted in classified form but shall include a detailed unclassified summary.

(4) It is probable that the movement of military aircraft, personnel, and cargo, including the household goods of military personnel, from Guam to Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the continental United States will increase significantly coincident with the increase in the number of military units and personnel stationed on Guam. (5) Current policies, programs, procedures, and dedicated resources of the Department of Defense and of other departments and agencies of the United States may not be sufficient to adequately address the increasing threat of the introduction of the brown tree snake from Guam into Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the continental United States.

(2) Current plans for enhanced future actions, policies, and procedures and increased levels of resources in order to ensure that the projected increase of military personnel stationed on Guam does not increase the threat of introduction of the brown tree snake from Guam into Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the continental United States.
