the ability of a contractor to responsibly perform is meaningfully
impaired, the Assistant Secretary shall place the contractor on the

SEC. 1638. SENSE OF CONGRESS WITH RESPECT TO USE OF ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE TO SUPPORT STRATEGIC DETERRENCE.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the considered use of artificial intelligence and machine
learning tools presents opportunities to strengthen the security of
critical strategic communications and early warning networks,
improve the efficiency of planning processes to reduce the risk of
collateral damage, and enhance U.S. capabilities for modeling
weapons functionality in support of stockpile stewardship; and
(2) even with such applications, particular care must be taken
to ensure that the incorporation of artificial intelligence and
machine learning tools does not increase the risk that our Nation's
most critical strategic assets can be compromised.
(b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States
that the use of artificial intelligence efforts should not compromise
the integrity of nuclear safeguards, whether through the functionality
of weapons systems, the validation of communications from command
authorities, or the principle of requiring positive human actions in
execution of decisions by the President with respect to the employment
of nuclear weapons.

SEC. 5703. HELLO GIRLS CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) On April 6, 1917, the United States declared war against
Germany. As a historically neutral nation, the United States was
unprepared to fight a technologically modern conflict overseas. The
United States called upon American Telephone and Telegraph
(referred to in this section as ``AT&T'') to provide equipment and
trained personnel for the Army Signal Corps in France. AT&T
executives in Army uniform served at home under the provisions of
the Act entitled ``An Act for making further and more effectual
provision for the national defense, and for other purposes.'',
approved June 3, 1916 (referred to in this section as the
``National Defense Act of 1916''), which allowed for the induction
of individuals with specialized skills into a reserve force.
(2) When General John Pershing sailed for Europe in May of
1917, as head of the American Expeditionary Forces (referred to in
this section as the ``AEF''), he took telephone operating equipment
with him in recognition of the inadequacy of European circuitry and
with the understanding that telephones would play a key role in
battlefield communications for the first time in the history of
war.
(3) From May to November of 1917, the AEF struggled to develop
the telephone service necessary for the Army to function under
battlefield conditions. Monolingual infantrymen from the United
States were unable to connect calls rapidly or communicate
effectively with their French counterparts to put calls through
over toll lines that linked one region of the country with another.
The Army found that the average male operator required 60 seconds
to make a connection. That rate was unacceptably slow, especially
for operational calls between command outposts and the front lines.
(4) During this time, in the United States, telephone operating
was largely sex-segregated. Hired for their speed in connecting
calls, women filled 85 percent of the telephone operating positions
in the United States. It took the average female operator 10
seconds to make a connection.
(5) On November 8, 1917, General Pershing cabled the War
Department and wrote, ``On account of the great difficulty of
obtaining properly qualified men, request organization and dispatch
to France a force of women telephone operators all speaking French
and English equally well.''. To begin, General Pershing requested
100 women under the command of a commissioned captain, writing that
``All should have allowances of Army nurses and should be
uniformed.''.
(6) The War Department sent press releases to newspapers across
the United States to recruit women willing to serve for the
duration of the war and face the hazards of submarine warfare and
aerial bombardment. These articles emphasized that patriotic women
would be ``full-fledged soldier[s] under the articles of war'' and
would ``do as much to help win the war as the men in khaki who go
`over the top.'''. All women selected would take the Army oath.
(7) More than 7,600 women volunteered for the 100 positions
described in paragraph (5) and the first recruits took the Army
oath on January 15, 1918.
(8) Like nurses and doctors at the time, female Signal Corps
members had relative rather than traditional ranks and were ranked
as Operator, Supervisor, or Chief Operator. When promoted, the
women were required to swear the Army oath again.
(9) Telephone operators were the first women to serve as
soldiers in non-medical classifications and the job of the
operators was to help win the war, not to mitigate the harms of the
war. In popular parlance, they were known as the ``Hello Girls''.
(10) Signal Corps Operators wore Army uniforms and Army
insignia always, as well as standard-issue identity disks in case
of death, and were subject to court martial for infractions of the
military code.
(11) Unbeknownst to the women operators and their immediate
officers, the legal counsel of the Army ruled internally on March
20, 1918, that the women were not actually soldiers but contract
employees, even though the women had not seen or signed any
contracts. Military code allowed only for the induction of men and
the code remained unchanged despite the orders of General Pershing.
Nevertheless, legal counsel also recognized that the National
Defense Act of 1916, which allowed for the induction of members of
the telephone industry of the United States into the Armed Forces,
imposed no gender restrictions.
(12) Four days later, on March 24, 1918, the first contingent
of operators began their official duties in France. The operators
arrived before most infantrymen of the Armed Forces in order to
facilitate logistics and deployment and spent their first night in
Paris under German bombardment.
(13) After the arrival of the operators, telephone service in
France improved immediately, as calls tripled from 13,000 to 36,000
per day.
(14) The Army quickly recruited, trained, and deployed 5
additional contingents of female Signal Corps operators. With these
personnel, calls increased to 150,000 per day.
(15) In addition to standard telephone operating, bilingual
Signal Corps members provided simultaneous translation between
officers from France and officers from the United States, who were
communicating by telephone.
(16) The AEF fought their first major battles in the last 2
months of the war. By that point, the Signal Corps considered the
contributions of women to be so essential that, in telephone
exchanges closest to the front line, the Army exclusively used
women, in rotating 12-hour shifts. In the rear, the Army
established rotating 8-hour shifts and gave male soldiers the
overnight shift when telephone traffic was slower.
(17) Seven bilingual operators--
(A) served at the Battles of St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne
under the immediate command of General Pershing;
(B) staffed the Operations Boards through which orders to
advance, fire, and retreat were delivered to soldiers in the
trenches, to artillery units on alert, and to pilots awaiting
orders at French airfields; and
(C) were awarded a ``Defensive Sector Clasp'' for the
Meuse-Argonne operation.
(18) The Chief Operator supervising the Hello Girls, Grace
Banker of Passaic, New Jersey, was awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal. Out of 16,000 eligible Signal Corps officers, Banker
was one of only 18 individuals so honored.
(19) Thirty additional operators received special
commendations, many signed by General Pershing himself, for
``exceptionally meritorious and conspicuous services'' in ``Advance
Sections'' of the conflict.
(20) The war ended on November 11, 1918. As of that date, 223
female operators served in France and had connected 26,000,000
calls for the AEF.
(21) The Chief Signal Officer of the Army Signal Corps wrote in
his official report 2 days after the date on which the war ended
that ``a large part of the success of the communications of this
Army is due to . . . a competent staff of women operators.''.
(22) After the war ended, some women were ordered to Coblenz in
Germany for the occupation of that country and to Paris for the
Paris Peace Treaty of 1919 to continue telephone operations,
sometimes in direct support of President Woodrow Wilson.
(23) Two operators, Corah Bartlett and Inez Crittenden, died in
France in the service of the United States and were buried there in
military cemeteries with military ceremonies. Those operators died
of the same influenza pandemic that killed more soldiers of the
Armed Forces than combat operations.
(24) Women of the Army Signal Corps were ineligible for
discharge until formal release. Because of their role in logistics,
those women were among the last soldiers to come home to the United
States. The last Signal Corps operators returned from France in
January of 1920.
(25) Upon arrival in the United States, the Army informed
female veterans that they had performed as civilians, not soldiers,
even though operators had served in Army uniform in a theater of
war surrounded by men who were similarly engaged.
(26) Despite the objections of General George Squier, the top-
ranking officer in the Signal Corps, the Army denied Signal Corps
women the veterans' benefits granted to male soldiers and female
nurses, such as--
(A) hospitalization for disabilities incurred in the line
of duty;
(B) cash bonuses;
(C) soldiers' pensions;
(D) flags on their coffins; and
(E) the Victory Medals promised them in France.
(27) For the next 60 years, female veterans, led by Merle Egan
from Montana, petitioned Congress more than 50 times for their
recognition. In 1977, under the sponsorship of Senator Barry
Goldwater, Congress passed legislation to retroactively acknowledge
the military service of the Women's Airforce Service Pilots
(referred to in this section as ``WASPs'') of World War II and
``the service of any person in any other similarly situated group
the members of which rendered service to the Armed Forces of the
United States in a capacity considered civilian employment or
contractual service at the time such service was rendered''.
(28) On November 23, 1977, President Jimmy Carter signed the
legislation described in paragraph (27) into law as the GI Bill
Improvement Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-202; 91 Stat. 1433).
(29) The Signal Corps telephone operators applied for, and were
granted, status as veterans in 1979.
(30) Only 33 of the operators who had returned home after the
war were still alive to receive their Victory Medals and official
discharge papers, which were finally awarded in 1979.
(31) One of the women, Olive Shaw from Massachusetts, returned
to the United States after the war, where she worked on the
professional staff of Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers. Shaw lived
to receive her honorable discharge and was the first burial when
the Massachusetts National Cemetery opened on October 11, 1980.
Shaw's uniform is on display at the National World War I Museum and
Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri.
(32) Upon receipt of her honorable discharge at a ceremony in
her home in Marine City, Michigan, ``Hello Girl'' Oleda Joure
Christides raised the paper to her lips and kissed it. The only
thing Christides ever wanted from the Federal Government was a flag
on her coffin.
(33) On July 1, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law
Public Law 111-40 (123 Stat. 1958), which awarded the WASPs the
Congressional Gold Medal for their service to the United States.
(34) For their role as pioneers who paved the way for all women
in uniform, and for service that was essential to victory in World
War I, the ``Hello Girls'' merit similar recognition.
(b) Congressional Gold Medal.--
(1) Award authorized.--The Speaker of the House of
Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate shall
make appropriate arrangements for the award, on behalf of Congress,
of a single gold medal of appropriate design in honor of the female
telephone operators of the Army Signal Corps (commonly known as the
``Hello Girls''), in recognition of those operators'--
(A) pioneering military service;
(B) devotion to duty; and
(C) 60-year struggle for--
(i) recognition as soldiers; and
(ii) veterans' benefits.
(2) Design and striking.--For the purposes of the award
described in paragraph (1), the Secretary of the Treasury (referred

Memorial;
(III) the U.S. Army Women's Museum; and
(IV) the National World War I Museum and Memorial;
and

(ii) any other location determined appropriate by the
Smithsonian Institution.
(c) Duplicate Medals.--Under such regulations as the Secretary may
prescribe, the Secretary may strike and sell duplicates in bronze of
the gold medal struck under subsection (b) at a price sufficient to
cover the costs of the medals, including labor, materials, dies, use of

(1) National medals.--Medals struck under this section are
national medals for purposes of chapter 51 of title 31, United

(2) Numismatic items.--For purposes of section 5134 of title
31, United States Code, all medals struck under this Act shall be
considered to be numismatic items.

charged against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund such
amounts as may be necessary to pay for the costs of the medals
struck under this Act.
(2) Proceeds of sale.--Amounts received from the sale of
duplicate bronze medals authorized under subsection (c) shall be

TITLE LXXVIII--OTHER MATTERS

TITLE LXXI--WORKFORCE MATTERS

SEC. 7101. COMPETITIVE LOCAL COMPENSATION PLAN.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the effectiveness and stability of United States foreign
missions are linked to the dedication and expertise of locally
employed staff; and
(2) ensuring competitive compensation packages benchmarked
against the local market is essential not only to retain valuable
talent but also to reflect a commitment to employment practices
abroad.

Act, the Secretary shall submit to the appropriate congressional

for targeted and proactive recruitment to fill open civil service
positions, focusing on recruiting from schools or organizations, and on

positions.
SEC. 7103. ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS.
(a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) Foreign Service personnel at the Department serve with
distinction in austere places and under challenging conditions
around the world with limited healthcare availability;
(2) the use of paper medical records, which require Foreign
Service personnel to carry files containing protected health
information from post to post, limits the availability of their
health information to Department medical personnel during critical
health incidents;
(3) electronic medical records are necessary, particularly as
the Department opens new embassies in the South Pacific, thousands
of miles from the nearest Department medical officer, who may not
have access to up-to-date personnel medical files;
(4) the lack of electronic medical records is even more
important for mental health records, as the Department only has a
small number of regional medical officer psychiatrists and relies
heavily on telehealth for most Foreign Service personnel; and
(5) due to the critical need for electronic medical records, it
is imperative that the Department address the situation quickly and
focus on secure commercially available or other successful systems
utilized by public and private sector organizations with a track
record of successfully implementing large-scale projects of this
type.
(b) Electronic Medical Records Requirement.--Not later than
December 31, 2027, the Secretary shall have fully implemented an
electronic medical records process or system for all Foreign Service
personnel and their Eligible Family Members that eliminates reliance on
paper medical records and includes appropriate safeguards to protect
personal privacy.
(c) Report on Implementation.--
(1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, and every 180 days thereafter, the Secretary
shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees and the
Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on
Appropriations of the House of Representatives a report on the
progress made towards meeting the requirement under subsection (b).
(2) Elements.--The report required under paragraph (1) shall
include the following elements:
(A) An updated timeline for implementation.
(B) An estimated completion date.
(C) The amounts expended to date on the required electronic
medical records system.
(D) The estimated amount needed to complete the system.
(3) Termination of requirement.--
(A) In general.--The reporting requirement under paragraph
(1) shall cease upon the earlier of--
(i) notification to the appropriate congressional
committees that electronic medical records have been
completely implemented for all Foreign Service personnel;
and
(ii) the date that is 5 years after the date of the
enactment of this Act.
(B) Report required in case of non-implementation.--If the
Department has not completely implemented electronic medical
records within 5 years of the date of the enactment of this
Act, the final report submitted under paragraph (1) shall
include an explanation for the lack of completion and steps the
Department will take to finalize the electronic medical records
process.
SEC. 7104. PORTABILITY OF PROFESSIONAL LICENSES.
(a) In General.--Chapter 9 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22

United States license and such member of the Foreign Service or spouse

location that is not in the jurisdiction of the licensing authority
that issued the covered license, such covered license shall be
considered valid at a similar scope of practice and in the discipline
applied for in the jurisdiction of such new residency for the duration
of such an assignment or detail if such member of the Foreign Service
or spouse--
``(1) provides a copy of the member's notification of
assignment to the licensing authority in the jurisdiction in which
the new residency is located;
``(2) remains in good standing with--
``(A) the licensing authority that issued the covered
license; and
``(B) every other licensing authority that has issued to
the member of the Foreign Service or spouse a license valid at
a similar scope of practice and in the discipline applied in
the jurisdiction of such licensing authority; and
``(3) submits to the authority of the licensing authority in
the new jurisdiction for the purposes of standards of practice,
discipline, and fulfillment of any continuing education
requirements.
``(b) Interstate Licensure Compacts.--If a member of the Foreign
Service or spouse of a member of the Foreign Service is licensed and
able to operate in multiple jurisdictions through an interstate
licensure compact, with respect to services provided in the
jurisdiction of the interstate licensure compact by a licensee covered
by such compact, the member of the Foreign Service or spouse of a
member of the Foreign Service shall be subject to the requirements of
the compact or the applicable provisions of law of the applicable State
and not this section.

effectiveness, accountability, and flexibility in the assignment
process, while maintaining equal opportunities for all employees in
the Foreign Service.
(4) An independent auditing process to ensure adherence to
established rules, effectiveness in meeting the Department's needs,
and prevention of bias or manipulation, including through the use
of protected categories in making assignment decisions.
(b) Consideration of Certain Promotion Issues.--In parallel with
assignment process modernization efforts, the Secretary shall--
(1) assess whether any point systems tied to promotion
incentives should consider service in hard-to-fill or critical
positions; and

process into winter and summer cycles is necessary or efficient
compared to stable matching processes.
(c) Reporting and Oversight.--Not later than 18 months after the
date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall provide the
