JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE
The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the
conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the
amendment of the Senate to the bill (
H.R. 4205) to authorize
appropriations for fiscal year 2001 for military activities
of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and
for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to
prescribe personnel strengths for such fiscal year for the
Armed Forces, and for other purposes, submit the following
joint statement to the House and the Senate in explanation of
the effect of the action agreed upon by the managers and
recommended in the accompanying conference report:
The Senate amendment struck out all of the House bill after
the enacting clause and inserted a substitute text.
The House recedes from its disagreement to the amendment of
the Senate with an amendment which is a substitute for the
House bill and the Senate amendment. The differences between
the House bill, the Senate amendment, and the substitute
agreed to in conference are noted below, except for clerical
corrections, conforming changes made necessary by agreements
reached by the conferees, and minor drafting and clarifying
changes.
The conference agreement would enact the provisions of H.R.
5408 as introduced on October 6, 2000. The text of that bill
follows:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.
(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Floyd D.
Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2001''.
(b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Representative Floyd D. Spence of South Carolina was
elected to the House of Representatives in 1970, for service
in the 92d Congress, after serving in the South Carolina
legislature for 10 years, and he has been reelected to each
subsequent Congress.
(2) Representative Spence came to Congress as a
distinguished veteran of service in the Armed Forces of the
United States.
(3) Upon graduation from college in 1952, Representative
Spence was commissioned as an ensign in the United States
Naval Reserve. After entering active duty, he served with
distinction aboard the USS CARTER HALL and the USS LSM-397
during the Korean War and later served as commanding officer
of a Naval Reserve Surface Division and as group commander of
all Naval Reserve units in Columbia, South Carolina.
Representative Spence retired from the Naval Reserve in 1988
in the grade of captain, after 41 years of dedicated service.
(4) Upon election to the House of Representatives,
Representative Spence became a member of the Committee on
Armed Services of that body. During 30 years of service on
that committee (4 years of which were served while the
committee was known as the Committee on National Security),
Representative Spence's contributions to the national defense
and security of the United States have been profound and long
lasting.
(5) Representative Spence served as chairman of that
committee while known as the Committee on National Security
during the 104th and 105th Congresses and serves as chairman
of that committee for the 106th Congress. In addition,
Representative Spence served as the ranking minority member
of the Committee on Armed Services during the 103d Congress.
(6) Dozens of awards from active duty and reserve military,
veterans service, military retiree, and industry
organizations and associations have recognized the
distinguished character of Representative Spence's service to
the Nation.
(7) Representative Spence has been a leading figure in the
debate over many of the most critical military readiness,
health care, recruiting, and retention issues currently
confronting the Nation's military. His concern for the men
and women in uniform has been unwavering, and his
accomplishments in promoting and gaining support for those
issues that preserve the combat effectiveness, morale, and
quality of life of the Nation's military personnel have been
unparalleled.
(8) During his tenure as chairman of the Committee on
National Security and the Committee on Armed Services of the
House of Representatives, Representative Spence has--
(A) led efforts to identify and reverse the effect that
declining resources and rising commitments have had on
military quality of life for service members and their
families, on combat readiness, and on equipment
modernization, with a direct result of those diligent efforts
and of his willingness to be an outspoken proponent for
America's military being that Congress has added nearly
$50,000,000,000 to the President's defense budgets over the
past 5 years;
(B) been a leading proponent of the need to expeditiously
develop and field a national missile defense to protect
American citizens and forward deployed military forces from
growing ballistic missile threats;
(C) advocated reversing the growing disparity between
actual military capability and the requirements associated
with the National Military Strategy; and
(D) led efforts in Congress to reform Department of Defense
acquisition and management headquarters and infrastructure
and business practices.
(9) This Act is the 30th annual authorization bill for the
Department of Defense for which Representative Spence has
taken a major responsibility as a member of the Committee on
Armed Services of the House of Representatives (including 4
years while that committee was known as the Committee on
National Security).
(10) In light of the findings in the preceding paragraphs,
it is altogether fitting and proper that this Act be named in
honor of Representative Floyd D. Spence of South Carolina, as
provided in subsection (a).

JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE
The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the
conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the
amendment of the Senate to the bill (
H.R. 4205) to authorize
appropriations for fiscal year 2001 for military activities
of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and
for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to
prescribe personnel strengths for such fiscal year for the
Armed Forces, and for other purposes, submit the following
joint statement to the House and the Senate in explanation of
the effect of the action agreed upon by the managers and
recommended in the accompanying conference report:
The Senate amendment struck out all of the House bill after
the enacting clause and inserted a substitute text.
The House recedes from its disagreement to the amendment of
the Senate with an amendment which is a substitute for the
House bill and the Senate amendment. The differences between
the House bill, the Senate amendment, and the substitute
agreed to in conference are noted below, except for clerical
corrections, conforming changes made necessary by agreements
reached by the conferees, and minor drafting and clarifying
changes.
The conference agreement would enact the provisions of H.R.
5408 as introduced on October 6, 2000. The text of that bill
follows:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.
(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Floyd D.
Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2001''.
(b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Representative Floyd D. Spence of South Carolina was
elected to the House of Representatives in 1970, for service
in the 92d Congress, after serving in the South Carolina
legislature for 10 years, and he has been reelected to each
subsequent Congress.
(2) Representative Spence came to Congress as a
distinguished veteran of service in the Armed Forces of the
United States.
(3) Upon graduation from college in 1952, Representative
Spence was commissioned as an ensign in the United States
Naval Reserve. After entering active duty, he served with
distinction aboard the USS CARTER HALL and the USS LSM-397
during the Korean War and later served as commanding officer
of a Naval Reserve Surface Division and as group commander of
all Naval Reserve units in Columbia, South Carolina.
Representative Spence retired from the Naval Reserve in 1988
in the grade of captain, after 41 years of dedicated service.
(4) Upon election to the House of Representatives,
Representative Spence became a member of the Committee on
Armed Services of that body. During 30 years of service on
that committee (4 years of which were served while the
committee was known as the Committee on National Security),
Representative Spence's contributions to the national defense
and security of the United States have been profound and long
lasting.
(5) Representative Spence served as chairman of that
committee while known as the Committee on National Security
during the 104th and 105th Congresses and serves as chairman
of that committee for the 106th Congress. In addition,
Representative Spence served as the ranking minority member
of the Committee on Armed Services during the 103d Congress.
(6) Dozens of awards from active duty and reserve military,
veterans service, military retiree, and industry
organizations and associations have recognized the
distinguished character of Representative Spence's service to
the Nation.
(7) Representative Spence has been a leading figure in the
debate over many of the most critical military readiness,
health care, recruiting, and retention issues currently
confronting the Nation's military. His concern for the men
and women in uniform has been unwavering, and his
accomplishments in promoting and gaining support for those
issues that preserve the combat effectiveness, morale, and
quality of life of the Nation's military personnel have been
unparalleled.
(8) During his tenure as chairman of the Committee on
National Security and the Committee on Armed Services of the
House of Representatives, Representative Spence has--
(A) led efforts to identify and reverse the effect that
declining resources and rising commitments have had on
military quality of life for service members and their
families, on combat readiness, and on equipment
modernization, with a direct result of those diligent efforts
and of his willingness to be an outspoken proponent for
America's military being that Congress has added nearly
$50,000,000,000 to the President's defense budgets over the
past 5 years;
(B) been a leading proponent of the need to expeditiously
develop and field a national missile defense to protect
American citizens and forward deployed military forces from
growing ballistic missile threats;
(C) advocated reversing the growing disparity between
actual military capability and the requirements associated
with the National Military Strategy; and
(D) led efforts in Congress to reform Department of Defense
acquisition and management headquarters and infrastructure
and business practices.
(9) This Act is the 30th annual authorization bill for the
Department of Defense for which Representative Spence has
taken a major responsibility as a member of the Committee on
Armed Services of the House of Representatives (including 4
years while that committee was known as the Committee on
National Security).
(10) In light of the findings in the preceding paragraphs,
it is altogether fitting and proper that this Act be named in
honor of Representative Floyd D. Spence of South Carolina, as
provided in subsection (a).
