This Act and the material found in this committee print are the product of an agreement between the Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Armed Services and the Chair-man and Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Armed Services on the reconciliation of 1960, as passed by the House of Representatives on June 14, 2013, and S.

5 1197, as reported out of committee on June 20, 2013. The Senate began consideration of S. 1197 on November 18, 2013, but did not complete consideration of S. 1197 and therefore was unable to initiate a formal conference with the House. In order to ensure the enactment of an annual DEFENSE bill by the end of the calendar year, the Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Armed Services and the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Armed Services agreed to reconcile the provisions of 1960 and S. 1197, includ-ing a number of amendments submitted during the Senate s consid-eration of its bill which were cleared by both sides, but were not adopted by the Senate due to insufficient time. The negotiated agreement was brought to the House Floor in the form of an amendment to the Senate amendments to 3304, a Medal of Honor bill referred to the Committee on Armed Services, which had previously passed in the House and was then amended and passed by the Senate.

6 On December 12, 2013, pursuant to H. Res. 441, which provided for the concurrence by the House in the Senate amendments to 3304, with an amendment, the House consid-ered and passed the negotiated agreement by a vote of 350 69. On December 19, 2013, the Senate agreed to the House amendment to the Senate amendment, and passed the negotiated text, by re-corded vote, 84 15. The President signed the legislation on Decem-ber 26, 2013, and it became Public Law 113 66. Because the House and Senate negotiators were unable to con-vene a formal conference committee to reconcile the differences in the respective versions of the bill, there is no conference report and no formal joint explanatory statement of the conference com-mittee for 3304. Instead, Chairman Howard P. Buck McKeon submitted a Joint explanatory Statement to Accompany the NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION Act for Fiscal Year 2014 in the Congressional Record on December 12, 2013 (pages H7894 H8037).

7 The text of the joint explanatory statement is included in this committee print. Section 4 of 3304 specifies that this ex-planatory material shall have the same effect with respect to the implementation of this legislation as if it were a joint explanatory statement of a committee of conference.
