The Senate Committees on Military Affairs; on the Militia;
and Naval Affairs were established on December 10, 1816. The
Committee on the Militia was merged with the Committee on
Military Affairs in 1858 to form the Military Affairs and
Militia Committee. However, in 1872 the Committee dropped
``Militia'' from its name. The Military Affairs and Naval
Affairs Committees existed until 1947 when they were combined
by the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 into a new
standing committee, the current Armed Services Committee.

RELATIONSHIP OF ANNUAL AUTHORIZATION TO DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
APPROPRIATIONS
History of Section 114, Title 10, United States Code
The jurisdiction of the committee so far as specific annual
authorizations are concerned was increased significantly in
1959 by the enactment of section 412(b) of Public Law 86-149
which required annual congressional authorization of
appropriations for the procurement of aircraft, missiles and
naval vessels. That law was amended and expanded as follows:
In 1962 (Public Law 88-436) to require similar
authorization of appropriations for research, development, test
or evaluation associated with aircraft, missiles and naval
vessels;
In 1963 (Public Law 88-174) to require similar
authorization of appropriations for all research, development,
test, or evaluation carried on by the Department of Defense;
In 1965 (Public Law 89-37) to require authorization of
appropriations for the procurement of tracked combat vehicles;
In 1967 (Public Law 90-168) to require annual authorization
of the personnel strengths of each of the Selected Reserves of
the Reserve components as a prior condition for the
appropriation of funds for the pay and allowances for the
Reserve components;
In 1969 (Public Law 91-121) to require authorization of
appropriations for the procurement of other weapons to or for
the use of any armed force of the United States. (Essentially,
heavy, medium, and light artillery, anti-aircraft artillery,
rifles, machine-guns, mortars, small arms weapons, and any
crew-fired piece using fixed ammunition);
In 1970 (Public Law 91-441) to require authorization of
appropriations to or for the use of the Navy for the
procurement of torpedoes and related support equipment; and to
require authorization of the average annual active duty
personnel strength for each component of the Armed Forces as a
condition precedent to the appropriation of funds for this
purpose;
In 1971 (Public Law 92-436) to require annual authorization
for the average military training student loads for each
component of the Armed Forces, and modified the provision
relating to authorization for active duty personnel strength;
In 1973 (Public Law 93-155) to require authorization for
end strength civilian employment for each component of the
Defense Department in each fiscal year;
In 1975 (Public Law 94-106) to require the annual
authorization of military construction of ammunition
facilities;
In 1980 (Public Law 96-342) to require the annual
authorization of appropriations of funds for the operation and
maintenance of any armed force of the activities and agencies
of the Department of Defense (other than the military
departments) for fiscal years beginning after September 30,
1981; and
In 1982 (Public law 97-86) to require the annual
authorization of appropriations of funds for procurement of
ammunition or other procurement for any armed force or for
agencies of the Department of Defense (other than military
departments).
Also, in 1973 these enactments were codified by section
803(a) of Public Law 93-155 into Title 10, United States Code,
as section 138. Section 138 was amended on several occasions
and, in 1986, was divided into two sections redesignated as
sections 114 and 115 of title 10, United States Code, by the
Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of
1986 (Public Law 99-433). Both sections have subsequently been
amended several times. The law today reads as follows:
Sec. 114. Annual authorization of appropriations
(a) No funds may be appropriated for any fiscal year to or
for the use of any armed force or obligated or expended for--
(1) procurement of aircraft, missiles, or naval
vessels;
(2) any research, development, test, or evaluation,
or procurement or production related thereto;
(3) procurement of tracked combat vehicles;
(4) procurement of other weapons;
(5) procurement of naval torpedoes and related
support equipment;
(6) military construction;
(7) the operation and maintenance of any armed force
or of the activities and agencies of the Department of
Defense (other than the military departments);
(8) procurement of ammunition; or
(9) other procurement by any armed force or by the
activities and agencies of the Department of Defense
(other than the military departments); unless funds
therefor have been specifically authorized by law.
(b) In subsection (a)(6), the term ``military
construction'' includes any construction, development,
conversion, or extension of any kind which is carried out with
respect to any military facility or installation (including any
Government-owned or Government-leased industrial facility used
for the production of defense articles and any facility to
which section 2353 of this title applies), any activity to
which section 2807 of this title applies, any activity to which
chapter 1803 of this title applies, and advances to the
Secretary of Transportation for the construction of defense
access roads under section 210 of title 23. Such term does not
include any activity to which section 2821 or 2854 of this
title applies.
(c)(1) The size of the Special Defense Acquisition Fund
established pursuant to chapter 5 of the Arms Export Control
Act (22 U.S.C. 2795 et seq.) may not exceed $1,070,000,000.
(2) Notwithstanding section 37(a) of the Arms Export
Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2777(a)), amounts received by the United
States pursuant to subparagraph (A) of section 21(a)(1) of that
Act (22 U.S.C. 2761(a)(1))--
(A) shall be credited to the Special Defense
Acquisition Fund established pursuant to chapter 5 of
that Act (22 U.S.C. 2795(b)(1)), but subject to the
limitation in paragraph (1) and other applicable law,
and
(B) to the extent not so credited, shall be deposited
in the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts as provided
in section 3302(b) of title 31.
(d) Funds may be appropriated for the armed forces for use
as an emergency fund for research, development, test, and
evaluation, or related procurement or production only if the
appropriation of the funds is authorized by law after June 30,
1966.
(e) In each budget submitted by the President to Congress
under section 1105 of title 31, amounts requested for
procurement of equipment for the reserve components of the
armed forces (including the National Guard) shall be set forth
separately from other amounts requested for procurement for the
armed forces.
(f) In each budget submitted by the President to Congress
under section 1105 of title 31, amounts requested for
procurement of ammunition for the Navy and Marine Corps, and
for procurement of ammunition for the Air Force, shall be set
forth separately from other amounts requested for procurement.
Sec. 115. Personnel strengths: requirement for annual authorization
(a) Congress shall authorize personnel strength levels for
each fiscal year for each of the following:
(1) The end strength for each of the armed forces

ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE ON ARMED SERVICES DURING THE 107TH CONGRESS
(2001 AND 2002)
The following is a summary of activities of the Committee
on Armed Services during the 107th Congress:
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002
The committee began the 107th Congress with a series of in-
depth hearings and briefings on the global threats to the
national security of the United States and the priorities and
plans for both the Department of Defense and the Department of
Energy to meet the challenges of the 21st Century threat
environment. Witnesses from the Department of Defense,
Department of Energy, and various intelligence agencies
provided the committee with updated information on the full
spectrum of issues relevant to the defense of the Nation and
U.S. national security interests worldwide. These discussions
framed the context for consideration of the President's fiscal
year 2002 budget proposal.
The new Bush administration first submitted its initial
blueprint for the budget request for fiscal year 2002 to the
committee in February 2001. The committee then received the
President's final, amended budget request on June 29, 2001. The
committee conducted a total of 24 hearings in review of the
defense authorization request. Senior officials from the
Department of Defense, including Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld, Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Henry Shelton, USA, the
service secretaries, the service chiefs, the unified and
specified combatant commanders, and other civilian government
officials testified before the committee on the budget
proposal. By September 5, 2001, when the committee met to mark
up the National Defense Authorization Bill for Fiscal Year
2002, a total of 105 witnesses had testified before the
committee on the budget request.
During the course of these hearings, the committee
identified five priorities for the development of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002:
Continuing improvements in the compensation
and quality of life of the men and women of the Armed
Forces and their families;
Sustaining the readiness of the military
services to carry out their assigned missions;
Encouraging the transformation of the
military services to lighter, more lethal and more
capable forces;
Improving the capability of the Armed Forces
to meet non-traditional threats, including terrorism
and unconventional means of delivering weapons of mass
destruction; and
Improving the efficiency of DOD programs and
operations.
The subcommittees and full committee met from September 5
through September 7, 2001 to mark up the National Defense
Authorization Bill for Fiscal Year 2002. The bill, S. 1416, was
reported to the Senate on September 12, 2001. The bill
authorized $343.3 billion in budget authority for defense
programs which was consistent with the level requested by the
administration in the fiscal year 2002 budget request.
The Senate began consideration of the bill on September 21,
2001. During the Senate debate on the measure, 84 amendments
were offered and 3 roll call votes were recorded. The measure
passed the Senate, with amendments, on October 2, 2001, by a
vote of 99-0.
Following the passage of the House companion measure (H.R.
2586), conferees from the Senate and House began conference on
October 10, 2001, to reconcile the differences between the two
versions of the bill. Conference negotiations were concluded
and the conference report (H. Rept. 107-333) was filed on
December 12, 2001. The House approved the conference report on
December 13, 2001 by a vote of 382-40.
On December 13, 2001, the Senate agreed to the conference
report by a vote of 96-2 and forwarded the measure to the
President. The President signed the bill into law on December
28, 2001 (Public Law 107-107).
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003
The committee received the President's budget request for
fiscal year 2003 on February 4, 2002. On February 5, Secretary
of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, General Richard Myers, USAF testified before the full
committee at the first of 25 hearings conducted to specifically
address the defense authorization request. During these
hearings, 104 witnesses, including the Secretary and Deputy
Secretary of Defense, the service secretaries, the service
chiefs, the unified and specified combatant commanders, and
other civilian government officials, provided the committee
with expert analysis and assessments of the President's budget
request. Overall, the committee held 41 hearings during the
first 41 days of congressional session to consider the budget
request and other related issues. Over the course of these
hearings, the committee identified five priorities for its
development of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2003:
Continuing the improvements in the
compensation and quality of life of the men and women
in the Armed Forces, retirees, and their families;
Sustaining the readiness of the military
services to conduct the full range of their assigned
missions, including current and future operations
against international terrorism;
Improving the efficiency of Department of
Defense programs and operations and apply the savings
toward high priority programs;
Improving the ability of the Armed Forces to
meet non-traditional threats, including terrorism and
weapons of mass destruction; and
Promoting the transformation of the Armed
Forces to meet the threats of the 21st century.
The subcommittees and full committee met from May 7 through
May 9, 2002, to mark up the National Defense Authorization Bill
for Fiscal Year 2003 (S. 2514). Upon completion, the committee
agreed to authorize $393.3 billion for defense spending for
fiscal year 2003. Through this legislation, the committee
sought to build on the considerable strengths of our military
forces and their record of success by preserving a high quality
of life for U.S. servicemen and women and their families,
sustaining readiness, and transforming the Armed Forces to meet
the threats and challenges of tomorrow.
The events following September 11, 2001, once again
demonstrated that the U.S. military is the most capable
fighting force in the world. The success of our forces in
Afghanistan is a tribute to the men and women of the Armed
Forces and the significance of the investments in national
defense made by the Congress and the Department of Defense over
the years. With this bill, the committee aimed to continue to
support the success of our forces with the resources, tools,
and technologies that they would need to deter and, if
necessary, prevail in future conflicts, in both the traditional
and non-traditional threat environments of the 21st century.
The committee reported S. 2514 to the Senate on May 15,
2002. On June 18, 2002, the Senate began its consideration of
the bill. After the consideration of 115 amendments and 7 roll
call votes, the Senate passed S. 2514 by a vote of 97-2 on June
27, 2002.
On July 28, 2002, conferees from the House and Senate began
meetings to resolve the differences between the Senate and
House defense authorization bills.
On November 12, 2002, the conferees concluded negotiations
and filed the conference report to accompany the House-passed
bill, H.R. 4546 (H. Rept. 107-772). The House considered the
conference report the same day under a suspension of the rules
and passed it by a voice vote. Senate action on the conference
report followed the next day with passage by voice vote.
On December 2, 2002, the measure was signed by the
President and became Public Law 107-314.
Military Operations and the War on Terrorism
During the 107th Congress, the United States military was
actively engaged in fighting the continuing global war on
terrorism. In addition to its review of the annual defense
authorization request, the Committee held 36 hearings and
briefings specifically focused on military operations and
policies in our fight against terrorist threats both at home
and abroad, worldwide threats to United States security
interests overall, and U.S. policies with regard to the new
security environment of the 21st Century.
During the first session of the Congress, the Committee
continued its series of hearings and briefings on the October
12, 2000 terrorist attack on the USS Cole. The committee
received the report of the Crouch-Gehman Commission, which was
created to review the existing force protection program within
the Department of Defense and to make recommendations on the
prevention of such attacks in the future. It was the
committee's goal to uncover the lessons learned from the attack
in order to determine what steps could be taken to improve
force protection for the future safety of our men and women in
uniform.
Following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the
United States entered into a new era, waging an ongoing war
against global terrorism both at home and abroad. The United
States responded to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon with the deployment of U.S. troops to
Afghanistan on October 7, 2001, as part of Operation Enduring
Freedom (OEF). The OEF campaign focused on eliminating the use
of Afghanistan as a base of operations for al Qaeda and other
terrorist groups, overturning the Taliban regime, and providing
humanitarian assistance to the Afghan civilian population. The
committee held 13 hearings and briefings on military operations
in Afghanistan and other U.S. operations around the globe,
bringing to the forefront significant issues such as:
Joint operations represented by
unprecedented levels of cooperation between the
military services;
The importance of international cooperation
in the war on terrorism through intelligence--sharing
and granting of overflight rights and airstrip use;
The conduct of humanitarian missions as U.S.
troops not only carry out combat missions but also
humanitarian assistance;
The effectiveness of new battlefield
technology with the increased use of precision-guided
munitions and unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs)
such as Global Hawk and the Predator; and
The safety and protection of our troops
overseas.
In a September 12, 2002 speech to the United Nations
General Assembly, President Bush called upon the world
community to take action against the Saddam Hussein regime and
enforce the U.N. resolutions passed since 1991 requiring the
unconditional disarmament of Iraq. During the ensuing month of
debate in Congress over the authorization of the possible use
of force against Iraq, the committee held four hearings on U.S.
policy toward Iraq. The purpose of the hearings was to give the
Administration the opportunity to present its position on Iraq
and to allow the committee to examine the Administration's
proposal through testimony from Administration witnesses,
former senior military officials, and expert witnesses from
outside the government. The series of hearings focused on a
number of key questions including:
The continuing threat posed by Saddam
Hussein, Iraqi capabilities, and the possible use of
weapons of mass destruction (WMD) against Iraqi
neighbors and U.S. forces;
The consequences of unilateral military
action by the United States against Iraq;
The impact on the overall war on terrorism
should there be military conflict in Iraq; and
The possible aftermath of war and the
resulting regime change, not only in Iraq, but also on
a broader regional level.
After a month of debate in Congress, on October 11 and 12,
2002, respectively, the House and Senate passed a joint
resolution (H.J. Res. 114) authorizing the President to use
force if necessary to eliminate threats posed by Saddam
Hussein's regime in Iraq. Following the passage of the joint
resolution, the committee continued to receive briefings on
developments in Iraq through the end of the 107th Congress.
Other Oversight Activities
Throughout each Congress, the committee is involved in the
oversight of many Department of Defense activities as well as
the review of the national security implications of
international treaties, a jurisdiction it shares with other
congressional committees. During the 107th Congress, the
committee received the submission of the 2001 Quadrennial
Defense Review (QDR), a congressionally-mandated review of the
national defense strategy. In October 2001, the committee met
to receive testimony on the QDR from Deputy Secretary of
Defense Paul Wolfowitz and the Director of the Joint Staff,
Lieutenant General Bruce Carlson, USAF. In January 2002, the
Administration released to Congress the results of its Nuclear
Posture Review (NPR), conducted by the Bush Administration as a
broad review and future guideline for U.S. nuclear weapons
policy, doctrine, force structure, and infrastructure. The
committee held two hearings and several briefings in review of
the NPR and its implications for Department of Defense and
Department of Energy policies for the future. Additionally,
following the May 2002 signing of the Strategic Offensive
Reduction Treaty (SORT) by President Bush and Russian President
Vladimir Putin in Moscow, the committee held two hearings to
consider the military implications of the Treaty, which seeks
to reduce strategic nuclear weapons in each country to between
1,700 and 2,200 warheads by December 2012. The committee heard
testimony from the Secretary of Defense, the Commander of the
United States Strategic Command, the National Nuclear Security
Administration, and several expert witnesses from outside the
government.

(Adopted February 28, 2001)

once a month when Congress is in session. The regular meeting
days of the Committee shall be Tuesday and Thursday, unless the
Chairman, after consultation with the Ranking Minority Member,
directs otherwise.
2. Additional Meetings. The Chairman, after consultation
with the Ranking Minority Member, may call such additional
meetings as he deems necessary.
3. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Committee may
be called by a majority of the members of the Committee in
accordance with paragraph 3 of Rule XXVI of the Standing Rules
of the Senate.
4. Open Meetings. Each meeting of the Committee, or any
subcommittee thereof, including meetings to conduct hearings,
shall be open to the public, except that a meeting or series of
meetings by the Committee or a subcommittee thereof on the same
subject for a period of no more than fourteen (14) calendar
days may be closed to the public on a motion made and seconded
to go into closed session to discuss only whether the matters
enumerated below in clauses (a) through (f) would require the
meeting to be closed, followed immediately by a record vote in
open session by a majority of the members of the Committee or
subcommittee when it is determined that the matters to be
discussed or the testimony to be taken at such meeting or
meetings--
(a) will disclose matters necessary to be kept secret
in the interests of national defense or the
confidential conduct of the foreign relations of the
United States;
(b) will relate solely to matters of Committee staff
personnel or internal staff management or procedure;
(c) will tend to charge an individual with a crime or
misconduct, to disgrace or injure the professional
standing of an individual, or otherwise to expose an
individual to public contempt or obloquy or will
represent a clearly unwarranted invasion of the privacy
of an individual;
(d) will disclose the identity of any informer or law
enforcement agent or will disclose any information
relating to the investigation or prosecution of a
criminal offense that is required to be kept secret in
the interests of effective law enforcement;
(e) will disclose information relating to the trade

pertaining specifically to a given person if--
(1) an Act of Congress requires the
information to be kept confidential by
Government officers and employees; or
(2) the information has been obtained by the
Government on a confidential basis, other than
through an application by such person for a
specific Government financial or other benefit,
and is required to be kept secret in order to
prevent undue injury to the competitive
position of such person; or
(f) may divulge matters required to be kept
confidential under other provisions of law or
Government regulations.
5. Presiding Officer. The Chairman shall preside at all
meetings and hearings of the Committee except that in his

hearing shall preside unless by majority vote the Committee
provides otherwise.
6. Quorum. (a) A majority of the members of the Committee
are required to be actually present to report a matter or
measure from the committee. (See Standing Rules of the Senate
26.7(a)(1).)
(b) Except as provided in subsections (a) and (c), and

Committee, including one member of the minority party; or a
majority of the members of the Committee, shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of such business as may be
considered by the Committee.
(c) Three members of the Committee, one of whom shall be a
member of the minority party, shall constitute a quorum for the
purpose of taking sworn testimony, unless otherwise ordered by
a majority of the full Committee.
(d) Proxy votes may not be considered for the purpose of
establishing a quorum.
7. Proxy Voting. Proxy voting shall be allowed on all
measures and matters before the Committee. The vote by proxy of
any member of the Committee may be counted for the purpose of

member casting such vote has been informed of the matter on
which he is being recorded and has affirmatively requested that
he be so recorded. Proxy must be given in writing.
8. Announcement of Votes. The results of all roll call
votes taken in any meeting of the Committee on any measure, or
amendment thereto, shall be announced in the Committee report,
unless previously announced by the Committee. The announcement
shall include a tabulation of the votes cast in favor and votes
cast in opposition to each such measure and amendment by each
member of the Committee who was present at such meeting. The
Chairman, after consultation with the Ranking Minority Member,
may hold open a roll call vote on any measure or matter which
is before the Committee until no later than midnight of the day
on which the Committee votes on such measure or matter.
9. Subpoenas. Subpoenas for attendance of witnesses and for
the production of memoranda, documents, records, and the like
may be issued, after consultation with the Ranking Minority
Member, by the Chairman or any other member designated by him,
but only when authorized by a majority of the members of the
Committee. The subpoena shall briefly state the matter to which
the witness is expected to testify or the documents to be
produced.
10. Hearings. (a) Public notice shall be given of the date,
place, and subject matter of any hearing to be held by the
Committee, or any subcommittee thereof, at least 1 week in
advance of such hearing, unless the Committee or subcommittee
determines that good cause exists for beginning such hearings
at an earlier time.
(b) Hearings may be initiated only by the specified
authorization of the Committee or subcommittee.
(c) Hearings shall be held only in the District of Columbia
unless specifically authorized to be held elsewhere by a
majority vote of the Committee or subcommittee conducting such
hearings.
(d) The Chairman of the Committee or subcommittee shall
consult with the Ranking Minority Member thereof before naming
witnesses for a hearing.
(e) Witnesses appearing before the Committee shall file
with the clerk of the Committee a written statement of their
proposed testimony prior to the hearing at which they are to
appear unless the Chairman and the Ranking Minority Member
determine that there is good cause not to file such a
statement. Witnesses testifying on behalf of the Administration
shall furnish an additional 50 copies of their statement to the
Committee. All statements must be received by the Committee at
least 48 hours (not including weekends or holidays) before the
hearing.
(f) Confidential testimony taken or confidential material
presented in a closed hearing of the Committee or subcommittee
or any report of the proceedings of such hearing shall not be
made public in whole or in part or by way of summary unless
authorized by a majority vote of the Committee or subcommittee.
(g) Any witness summoned to give testimony or evidence at a
public or closed hearing of the Committee or subcommittee may
be accompanied by counsel of his own choosing who shall be
permitted at all times during such hearing to advise such
witness of his legal rights.
(h) Witnesses providing unsworn testimony to the Committee
may be given a transcript of such testimony for the purpose of
making minor grammatical corrections. Such witnesses will not,
however, be permitted to alter the substance of their
testimony. Any question involving such corrections shall be
decided by the Chairman.
11. Nominations. Unless otherwise ordered by the Committee,
nominations referred to the Committee shall be held for at
least seven (7) days before being voted on by the Committee.
Each member of the Committee shall be furnished a copy of all
nominations referred to the Committee.
12. Real Property Transactions. Each member of the
Committee shall be furnished with a copy of the proposals of
the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, submitted
pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2662 and with a copy of the proposals of
the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
submitted pursuant to 50 U.S.C. App. 2285, regarding the
proposed acquisition or disposition of property of an estimated
price or rental of more than $50,000. Any member of the
Committee objecting to or requesting information on a proposed
acquisition or disposal shall communicate his objection or
request to the Chairman of the Committee within thirty (30)
days from the date of submission.
13. Legislative Calendar. (a) The clerk of the Committee
shall keep a printed calendar for the information of each
Committee member showing the bills introduced and referred to
the Committee and the status of such bills. Such calendar shall
be revised from time to time to show pertinent changes in such
bills, the current status thereof, and new bills introduced and
referred to the Committee. A copy of each new revision shall be
furnished to each member of the Committee.
(b) Unless otherwise ordered, measures referred to the
Committee shall be referred by the clerk of the Committee to
the appropriate department or agency of the Government for
reports thereon.
14. Except as otherwise specified herein, the Standing
Rules of the Senate shall govern the actions of the Committee.
Each subcommittee of the Committee is part of the Committee,
and is therefore subject to the Committee's rules so far as
applicable.
15. Powers and Duties of Subcommittees. Each subcommittee
is authorized to meet, hold hearings, receive evidence, and
report to the full Committee on all matters referred to it.
Subcommittee chairmen, after consultation with Ranking Minority
Members of the subcommittees, shall set dates for hearings and
meetings of their respective subcommittees after consultation
with the chairman and other subcommittee chairmen with a view
toward avoiding simultaneous scheduling of full Committee and
subcommittee meetings or hearings whenever possible.
