A BILL
To authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2001 for military
activities of the Department of Defense and for military construction,
to prescribe military personnel strengths for fiscal year 2001, and for
other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
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 (four 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 five 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 four 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).
