current and former Special Immigrant Visa programs that
significantly increase the application timeline and impact
applicants seeking to verify their eligibly for these programs;
(2) administrative issues such a verification of
employment, characterization of service, personnel data, and
biographical data needed for employment by a local national
employee but not centrally maintained should not be a barrier
for an applicant who has put themselves or their family at risk
by providing faithful and valuable service in support the
United States Government;
(3) upon studying existing databases within the federal
government, none meet the requirement that would provide a
centralized database that all federal departments and agencies
could utilize to ensure that in the future, eligible applicants
do not have applications delayed or denied due to missing
administrative data;
(4) the creation of such a database, exercising current
privacy data control policies, would streamline the application
process and provide independent and centralized verification
that an applicant is indeed eligible for the program; and
(5) Special Immigrant Visa programs are consistent with our
national values, and therefore, it is an obligation to make
sure the accurate data necessary to verify and complete these
applications expeditiously is available when needed.
(b) Database.--Not later than one year after the date of enactment
of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the
Secretary of State, shall establish and maintain a database listing all
foreign nationals working for the United States Government or any

where duties were performed.
(9) Any other information the Secretary of Defense or
Secretary of State deems appropriate.
(d) Notification.--The Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State,
the head of any other agency or instrumentality of the Executive
branch, and each contractor or subcontractor (at any tier) of the

instrumentality, shall provide to any foreign national employee in the
database established under subsection (b), at the end of each year of

tier) (as the case may be) and on the date such employment terminates,
a written certification regarding such employee's total length of

(1) the AUKUS partnership between Australia, the United
Kingdom, and the United States presents a significant
opportunity to enhance security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific
region;
(2) parties to the AUKUS partnership should work
expeditiously to implement a strategic roadmap to successfully
deliver capabilities outlined in the agreement;
(3) the United States should engage with industry partners
to develop a comprehensive understanding of the requirements
needed to increase capacity and capability;
(4) Australia should continue to expand its industrial base
to support production and delivery of future capabilities;
(5) the delivery of a nuclear-powered submarine to the
Government of Australia would require the appropriate training
and development of future commanding officers to operate such

Subtitle E--Matters Relating to Europe and NATO
SEC. 1261. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON UNITED STATES DEFENSE POSTURE IN EUROPE
FOLLOWING THE FURTHER INVASION OF UKRAINE.
It is the sense of Congress as follows:
(1) The further invasion of Ukraine presents a sea change
to the security environment in Europe that requires a long-term
shift in the force posture of the United States and its allies,
in order to ensure the maintenance of collective deterrence. As
General Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, recently noted,
``We are witness to the greatest threat to peace and security
of Europe and perhaps the world in my 42 years of service in
uniform. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is threatening to
undermine not only European peace and stability but global
peace and stability. . . . We are at a pivot point in the
geostrategic history of Europe and perhaps the globe.''.
(2) Adjustments to force posture in Europe must be
commensurate to this challenge. Alongside allied investments,
it is necessary for the United States to alter its force
posture to establish additional permanently stationed and
continuous rotational forces along Europe's eastern flank.
Given the current conditions, it would be untenable for the
United States to seek to revert to United States force levels
and positioning present in Europe before Russia's further
invasion of Ukraine, to rely solely on allied forces for
further force posture enhancements, or adopt a path to
transition away from investments in Europe through the European
Deterrence Initiative (EDI), except for exceptional cases.
(3) As General Tod Wolters, Commander of U.S. European
Command, has stated, investments made through EDI since 2014
have proved essential to the United States ability to respond
to the Ukraine crisis, deploying units in 5 days that would
have taken as long as 21 days. General Wolters further stated,
``To take an Armored Brigade Combat Team and launch it from the
continental United States, and put it on European turf, and
have the tanks that comprise that Brigade Combat Team to shoot,
move, and communicate and fire on range in one week is an
amazing accomplishment. And that was facilitated by those Army
Prepositioned Stocks and it was practiced in previous exercises
which are part of the EDI fund. I would just say that when we
demonstrated to the European community, and to the NATO
community, and to the world how well we can shoot, move, and
communicate and transition a large force from CONUS to Europe
at that pace, it's something that demonstrates the great value
of EDI.''.
(4) Past decisions made by the Department of Defense and
Congress about prepositioned stocks, mobility, and funding for
EDI led directly to this ability to quickly reinforce the area
of operations in this crisis, and EDI investments will be
crucial for adaptation to the new European security
environment. The Department of Defense should continue to
strongly support EDI investments with a focus on adapting
deterrence to the new security environment and incorporating
lessons learned from the conflict in Ukraine, and it should not
seek a path to EDI's sunset.
(5) The United States recognizes that strong alliances and
partnerships are crucial to the maintenance of United States
national and global security. The NATO alliance has grown more
robust and more united in response to Russia's aggression in
Ukraine. Members of NATO have announced substantial changes in
their defense commitments, adopting measures to meet and exceed
their Wales Pledge commitments to spend 2 percent of Gross
Domestic Product on defense and increasing commitments to NATO
battle group and air policing missions, while sending vital
defense assistance to Ukraine. Congress commends such members
of NATO for their adoption and sustainment of these efforts.
Such commitments are vital to the long-term effort required to
maintain deterrence in the European theater. The United States
should continue to work with allies on complementary
investments to establish in Europe a mature, fully integrated
deterrence platform capable of responding to the expanded
threat of Russian aggression and supporting NATO allies'
ongoing efforts to collectively resist direct and hybrid
threats to shared values, interests, and ideals.
(6) The United States should also redouble efforts to
assist NATO allies, particularly on Europe's eastern periphery,
in modernizing and integrating their defense capabilities
taking into account lessons from Russia's war in Ukraine,
including efforts to provide artillery, MLRS, MANPADS, air
defenses, and other capabilities.
(7) As it reinforces deterrence, the United States should
recognize the acute risks now facing allies on Russia's
periphery and pursue national security investments and
strategies commensurate to the challenge, including additional
EDI programs, in the Black Sea, the Baltics, the Arctic, and
Central Europe, in order to maintain the credibility of the
``sacred obligation under Article 5 of the North Atlantic
Treaty to defend every inch of NATO territory.''.
(8) Likewise, the United States should keep in mind the
particularly significant challenges posed to non-NATO European
partners and seek security strategies to continue cooperation
and support their sovereign rights, while also pursuing
security policies that support stability in areas of
substantial malign effort such as the Western Balkans.
(9) The United States continues to recognize the importance
of the long-term Baltic Security Initiative assistance plan
that the Department of Defense is carrying out under section
333 of title 10, United States Code, and the crucial role that
such investments play in deterring Russian aggression in that
region.
SEC. 1262. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NATO MEMBERSHIP FOR FINLAND AND SWEDEN.
It is the sense of Congress that the United States strongly
supports membership for Finland and Sweden in the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO).

military aggression and as a critical support platform for
national security engagements in the Indo-Pacific region;

United States Armed Forces deployed to South Korea serves not
only as a stabilizing force to the Korean peninsula but also as
a reassurance to all our allies in the region; and
(4) the United States should continue to--

Taiwan in July 1982 are the foundation for United States-Taiwan
relations;
(2) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the United
States decision to establish diplomatic relations with the
People's Republic of China rests upon the expectation that the
future of Taiwan will be determined by peaceful means, and that
any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than
peaceful means, including boycotts and embargoes, is of grave
concern to the United States;
(3) the increasingly coercive and aggressive behavior of
the People's Republic of China toward Taiwan is contrary to the
expectation of the peaceful resolution of the future of Taiwan;
(4) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the capacity
to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that
would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic
system, of the people on Taiwan should be maintained;
(5) the United States should continue to support the
development of capable, ready, and modern defense forces
necessary for Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense
capability, including by--
(A) supporting acquisition by Taiwan of defense
articles and services through foreign military sales,
direct commercial sales, and industrial cooperation,
with an emphasis on capabilities that support the
asymmetric defense strategy of Taiwan, including anti-
ship, coastal defense, anti-armor, air defense,
undersea warfare, advanced command, control,
communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance,
and reconnaissance, and resilient command and control
capabilities;
(B) ensuring timely review of and response to
requests of Taiwan for defense articles and services;
(C) conducting practical training and military
exercises with Taiwan that enable Taiwan to maintain a
sufficient self- defense capability, as described in
the Taiwan Relations Act;
(D) exchanges between defense officials and
officers of the United States and Taiwan at the
strategic, policy, and functional levels, consistent
with the Taiwan Travel Act (Public Law 115-135; 132
Stat. 341), especially for the purposes of--
(i) enhancing cooperation on defense
planning;
(ii) improving the interoperability of the
military forces of the United States and
Taiwan; and
(iii) improving the reserve force of
Taiwan;
(E) identifying improvements in Taiwan's ability to
use asymmetric military capabilities to enhance its
defensive capabilities, as described in the Taiwan
Relations Act; and
(F) expanding cooperation in humanitarian
assistance and disaster relief; and

a free and open society in the face of aggressive efforts by
the Government of the People's Republic of China to curtail or
influence the free exercise of rights and democratic franchise.
SEC. 1304. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORT ON UNITED STATES SECURITY

(1) it is in the common interest of the United States and
allies and partners of the United States to strive for
accessibility and flexibility for delivering assets into space
on a responsive timeline;
(2) the United States should implement joint United States-
allied space missions that demonstrate rapid, rapid launch,
reconstitution and satellite augmentation from locations in the
Indo-Pacific, European, and other theaters of operations;
(3) the United States should leverage allied and partner
spaceports to diversify and disaggregate launch sites across
the world for a multitude of missions, including national
security missions; and
(4) it is important for the United States to have
operational and contracting steps established with allies and
partners to ensure readiness and preparedness for responding to
or deterring any unknown threats.
(b) Initiatives.--The Secretary of the Defense and the Secretary of
State shall jointly--
(1) ensure that responsive space capabilities of the

SEC. 1607. REPORT ON TACTICALLY RESPONSIVE SPACE CAPABILITIES.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Space Safari tactically responsive launch-2 mission
of the Space Systems Command of the Space Force successfully
demonstrated the ability of the Space Force to rapidly
integrate, launch, and operate a satellite on orbit on a
timeline that would be needed for rapid reconstitution or to
respond to real-time hostile activities occurring in the
domain;
(2) the Space Force should continue these efforts, and
broaden the program beyond the logistics of launch and
operations to also focus on lifecycle concepts of operation, as
well as any contractual mechanisms that should be required in
future programs to take into account the need for rapid
reconstitution and responsiveness;
(3) the Chief of Space Operations should formalize
tactically responsive requirements for all space capabilities
carried out under title 10, United States Code; and
(4) to take into totality the effort required for
tactically responsive launch, the Space Force should consider
adding a corresponding budget line item for ``Tactically
Responsive Space'' to fund areas beyond launch that would
contribute to responsive space activities.
(b) Report.--Not later than 30 days after the date on which the
budget of the President for fiscal year 2024 is submitted to Congress
pursuant to section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, the Chief of
Space Operations shall submit to the congressional defense committees a
report on planned tactically responsive space activities pursuant to
section 1609 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283; 10 U.S.C.
2271 note) included during the period covered by the most recent
future-years defense program submitted under section 221 of title 10,
United States Code (as of the date of the report), including a detailed
budget plan for launch activities and all other efforts needed to
enable tactically responsive space capabilities.
SEC. 1608. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON RANGE OF THE FUTURE AND SUPPORT TO
COMMERCIAL SPACE LAUNCH ACTIVITY.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) section 1610 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2022 contained a provision requiring the United
States Space Force to deliver a report on its Range of the
Future initiative;
(2) based on the details in that report, that the Nation's
launch service providers, consistent with decades of national
policy, now lead the world in space access, that United States
leadership in this strategic capability is critical to national
security and economic vitality, and that it is critical to the
Nation to continue encouraging and enabling United States space
access capabilities to flourish;
(3) the rapid growth of the commercial launch industry
places a growing demand on Department of Defense resources at
Federal space launch ranges, and that this demand growth will
continue for the foreseeable future;
(4) the 1960s-era infrastructure of the two Department of
Defense launch ranges primarily responsible for meeting its
assured access to space mission under section 2273 of title 10,
United States Code, and complying with section 2276 of such
title, is under increasing strain, and needs to be replaced
with a modern, state of the art launch infrastructure that
encourages and enables continued growth and leadership in space
access;
(5) maintenance of common use critical infrastructure like
roads, culverts, bridges, deluge and water treatment
facilities, supply lines, and electrical networks, among
others, require immediate attention;
(6) investments in infrastructure have not kept pace with
commercial demand primarily due to existing authorities which
limit reimbursement, flexible financial investment facilities,
and reinvestment of revenue in spaceport sustainment,
modernization, and growth;
(7) the burgeoning commercial space industry requires a
more holistic, responsive process leveraging public and private
investment;
(8) the Department of Defense is constrained to provide
services to commercial users only when not needed for public
use, yet at the same time must promote commercial space launch
capabilities as a critical enabler to national security;
(9) the United States Space Force has made great use of
existing authorities and those provided by other non-Federal
entities to leverage other sources of commercial and State
investment to keep pace with demand;
(10) a similar State business development entity would be
useful for supporting commercial space launch capability
development in California at Vandenberg Space Force Base and
other spaceports, and Congress looks forward to assisting the
Department of Defense in improving its ability to plan and
support commercial innovation while continuing to provide world
class launch and test facilities; and
(11) the Secretary and the Department should engage with
all stakeholders, including NASA, other relevant Federal
agencies, and the associated congressional authorizing
committees of jurisdiction, in any reporting, negotiation,
policy, and potential legislative proposals on this matter.

Commander of United States Strategic Command, have offered
their support for continued research and development of a
nuclear-capable sea-launched cruise missile to strengthen
nuclear deterrence.
(2) Deploying a nuclear-capable sea-launched cruise missile
on naval vessels would ``not come without a cost'', as was
testified by Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Mike Gilday.
Admiral Gilday described the challenges associated with
training, sustainability, reliability, and readiness that would
be associated with adding a nuclear mission and went on to say
that he was ``not convinced yet that we need to make a
$31,000,000,000 investment in that particular system to close
that particular gap''. Instead, he recommended keeping ``a
small amount of money'' for research and development of the
nuclear-capable sea-launched cruise missile as the Department
of Defense seeks to better understand the implications of
living with two nuclear-armed peer competitors.
(b) Reports.--
(1) Deterrence.--Not later than 270 days after the date of

SEC. 1642. FIRE CONTROL ARCHITECTURES.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the new missile track and warning architecture in the
budget request of the President for fiscal year 2023 makes a
needed and significant shift to a more resilient and robust
capability that will be necessary to address future threats in
the domain;
(2) the tranche 1 and 2 capabilities of the Space
Development Agency are critical to such new architecture and
should continue to be funded appropriately to deliver missile
track and warning capability from low-Earth orbit in the mid-
2020s timeframe;
(3) section 1645 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public
Law 116-283; 134 Stat. 4062) directs the Director of the
Missile Defense Agency to develop a sensor payload to be
integrated into architecture of the Space Development Agency or
Space Force to provide fire control quality data that would
enable the interception of both ballistic and hypersonic
threats;
(4) as the Space Warfighting Analysis Center of the Space
Force reviews candidate architectures for fire control quality
data, the Center should take into account the investment made
to date and capability being developed by the hypersonic and
ballistic tracking space sensor program for integration into
the future architecture; and
(5) the Center should also consider current or planned
programs of the intelligence community that could be integrated
