represents a national effort that requires predictable and
stable build schedules and alignment of purpose between the
Department of Defense, the Department of the Navy, and the
aircraft carrier industrial base.
(3) The aircraft carrier industrial base includes more than
2,000 companies in 44 States that contribute to the
construction and maintenance of these complex and
technologically advanced ships.
(4) The benefits of stable, executable aircraft carrier
procurement plans extend throughout the aircraft carrier
industrial base, promoting the development and retention of
highly skilled workforces and capital investments in world-
class manufacturing and shipbuilding facilities throughout the
United States.
(5) Aircraft carrier procurement plans accompanying the
President's budget request for fiscal years 2023 and 2024
forecast procurement of the CVN-82 carrier in fiscal year 2028,
however, the fiscal year 2025 plan defers procurement until
fiscal year 2030, creating a significant and destabilizing
production gap for the aircraft carrier industrial base.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Navy
should implement aircraft carrier acquisition strategies that
maximize benefits to operational commanders while
simultaneously protecting the interests of the taxpayer and
supporting the national nuclear shipbuilding industrial base;
(2) the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Navy
should review and revise the acquisition strategy, including a
two-ship buy of the CVN-82 and CVN-83 carriers, for Ford-class
aircraft carriers in the President's budget request for fiscal
year 2026 to ensure the strategy is consistent with accepted
shipbuilding industrial base analyses, prior Department of
Defense recommendations, reports to Congress, congressional
resolutions, section 8062 of title 10, United States Code, and
national security interests; and
(3) the Secretary of Defense should request procurement of
the CVN-82 carrier not later than fiscal year 2028.

contribute to the overall security of the nation, especially
throughout the civil service and in the defense industrial
base;

shortfall of qualified workers, resulting in delayed production
of critical platforms that support the security of the United
States; and

are ultimately medically disqualified from enlistment, are
likely to possess many of the attributes that will lead to
successful careers in other aspects of national service.
(b) Course Required.--
(1) In general.--Not later than one year after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Under Secretary of Defense for
Personnel and Readiness, in collaboration with the Secretaries
concerned (as defined in section 101(a) of title 10, United

paragraph (2) to individuals who volunteer to enlist or
commission in the Armed Forces but who are ultimately
disqualified by a Military Entrance Processing Station.
(2) Course described.--The course described in this
paragraph is a course designed by the Under Secretary of
Defense for Personnel and Readiness to educate individuals
described in paragraph (1) about other opportunities to
contribute to national security, including--
(A) workforce development opportunities that lead
to employment within the defense industrial base;
(B) education opportunities that result in civil
service jobs in the Department of Defense; and

ORGANIZATION.
It is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) the success of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
is critical to advancing United States national security
objectives in Europe, the Indo-Pacific region, and around the
world;
(2) 2024 marks 75 years since the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization alliance was founded, and the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization remains the strongest and most successful
military alliance in the world, founded on a commitment by its
members to uphold the principles of democracy, individual
liberty, and the rule of law;
(3) the United States reaffirms its ironclad commitment to
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as the foundation of
transatlantic security and to upholding its obligations under
the North Atlantic Treaty, including its commitment to
collective defense under Article 5 of the Treaty;
(4) the unprovoked and illegal full-scale invasion of
Ukraine by the Russian Federation has fundamentally altered the
security landscape in Europe and necessitates the unrelenting
support of the transatlantic alliance for Ukraine's self
defense;
(5) welcoming Finland and Sweden as the 31st and 32nd
members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization,
respectively, has made the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
alliance stronger and has enhanced collective security by
increasing the capabilities and stability of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization alliance, particularly in the Baltic Sea
region and Northern Europe;
(6) North Atlantic Treaty Organization member countries
that have not yet met the two-percent defense spending pledge,
as agreed to at the 2014 Wales Summit, should meet the timeline
as expeditiously as possible;
(7) it is imperative that the United States and
international allies and partners continue every effort to
identify, synchronize, and deliver needed assistance to Ukraine
as Ukraine continues the fight against the illegal and unjust
war of the Russian Federation;
(8) the regional plans, agreed to by all North Atlantic
Treaty Organization member countries at the Vilnius Summit in
2023, provide important clarity on the forces, capabilities,
and readiness levels needed to defend the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization alliance, and allies should move expeditiously to
implement the plans;
(9) the United States and fellow North Atlantic Treaty
Organization allies should continue long-term efforts--
(A) to improve interoperability among the military
forces of North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies so
as to enhance collective operations, including the
divestment of Soviet-era capabilities;
(B) to enhance security sector cooperation and
explore opportunities to reinforce civil sector
preparedness and resilience measures that may be likely
targets of malign influence campaigns;
(C) to mitigate the impact of hybrid warfare
operations, particularly those in the information and
cyber domains; and
(D) to expand joint research and development
initiatives with a focus on emerging technologies such
as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and
machine learning, including through the work of the
Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic
initiative (commonly known as ``DIANA'');
(10) the European Deterrence Initiative remains critically
important and has demonstrated its unique value to the United
States and North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies during the
current Russian Federation-created war against Ukraine;
(11) the United States should continue to work with allies
and partners to build permanent mechanisms to strengthen supply
chains, enhance supply chain security, and fill supply chain
gaps;
(12) the United States should prioritize collaboration with
fellow North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies to secure
enduring and robust critical munitions supply chains so as to
increase military readiness;
(13) the United States and fellow North Atlantic Treaty
Organization allies should expand cooperation efforts on
cybersecurity issues to prevent adversaries and criminals from
compromising critical systems and infrastructure;
(14) the Baltic countries, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania,
continue to serve as model allies, including through their
defense investments, modernization of key capabilities, and
their steadfast assistance to Ukraine, among myriad other
examples;
(15) the security situation in the Western Balkans remains
dynamic, and military-to-military cooperation among the United
States, the European Union, and fellow NATO allies to maintain
peace and security in the Western Balkans is critically
important; and
(16) the efforts of the Russian Federation to assert
military, political, and economic dominance in the Black Sea,
though unsuccessful, threaten the peace and stability of the
littoral countries of the Black Sea and should remain a focus
area for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization alliance.

SEC. 1511. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE CONGRESSIONAL STRATEGIC POSTURE
COMMISSION.
(a) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) on October 12, 2023, the Congressional Commission on
the Strategic Posture of the United States (referred to in this
section as the ``Commission'') released a final report entitled
``America's Strategic Posture'';
(2) the report, the consensus product of a 12-person
bipartisan commission established by section 1687 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public
Law 117-81; 135 Stat. 2126) and led by the Honorable Madelyn
Creedon and former Senator Jon Kyl--
(A) examined the latest intelligence available on
current and projected global strategic threats;
(B) assessed the adequacy of existing United States
strategies, policies, and capabilities for addressing
such threats; and
(C) provided a series of findings and
recommendations, which were subsequently made available
to the President, Congress, and the general public;
(3) the findings of the Commission reflect a deteriorating
international security situation that is becoming far more
dangerous for the United States and its allies and partners;
(4) the rapid and unprecedented growth of the nuclear
arsenal of the People's Republic of China, the massive
expansion of its armed forces, and its increasingly aggressive
stance across all domains have forever altered the global
balance of power;
(5) the Government of the Russian Federation owns, and will
likely maintain for the foreseeable future, the largest nuclear
arsenal on Earth;
(6) the Government of the Russian Federation--
(A) continues to expand and diversify its nuclear
arsenal, air and missile defenses, and space, cyber,
biological, and chemical weapons capabilities; and
(B) regularly flaunts such capabilities to threaten
and intimidate regional neighbors;
(7) continued efforts by the Democratic People's Republic
of Korea to expand and diversify its nuclear arsenal, long-
range missile systems, and chemical and biological weapons
programs and the clear willingness to leverage such systems and
programs to threaten and intimidate regional neighbors poses a
growing danger to stability in Northeast Asia;
(8) the growth of the intercontinental ballistic missile
forces of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea presents an
acute danger to the people of the United States;
(9) the Islamic Republic of Iran is committed to a long-
term goal of further developing increasingly destabilizing
missile technologies and acquiring nuclear weapons to dominate
the greater Middle East;
(10) taken together, such findings reflect a global
security environment very different from any the United States
has ever encountered;
(11) while the United States served as a bulwark against
the Soviet Union, enduring the distant existential threat the
Government of the Soviet Union posed for decades, and defied
the persistent daily threat of terrorism from the earliest days
of the 21st century, the United States has never faced a more
complex set of global threats than are arrayed before it as of
the date of the enactment of this Act; and
(12) the United States, in order to maintain its position
in the international order, must recognize this new threat
environment, and urgently take prompt, decisive action to
transform its aging array of defenses, renovate long-neglected
industrial capabilities, rebuild a strong and vibrant
workforce, rebuild allied confidence in the support and
leadership of the United States, and craft a common, unifying
vision of purpose for all United States citizens.
(b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States
that--
(1) the deterrence of strategic attacks, and in particular
nuclear attacks, against the United States and its allies is
the highest defense priority of the United States; and
(2) the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Energy
are provided with all necessary authorities and resources
required to ensure the maintenance of a modern, effective
strategic deterrent to meet the emerging suite of unprecedented
strategic threats against the United States.

each recommendation may contribute to the deterrence of
particular threats anticipated within in the time frame of the
report.
(2) A determination of whether each such recommendation has
been or will be addressed by the Department of Defense or the
Department of Energy, and if applicable--

addressed; or
(B) why such recommendation will not be addressed.
(3) For each recommendation, an estimate of the cost of
implementation.
(4) A description of any anticipated impacts to the Defense
Industrial Base or the Nuclear Security Enterprise required to
support a recommendation, and any projected net benefits to the
economic competitiveness of the United States.

recommendation with respect to other activities of the
Department of Defense or the Department of Energy.
(6) Such other information as the Chairman of the Nuclear
Weapons Council determines relevant to the review.
