TITLE VIII--ACQUISITION POLICY, ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT, AND RELATED MATTERS

Subtitle C—Amendments to General Contracting Authorities, Procedures, and Limitations

P. L. 112-

House Conference Report 112-705

SEC. 821. MODIFICATION OF TIME PERIOD FOR CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION OF THE LEASE OF CERTAIN VESSELS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

Section 2401(h)(2) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by striking `30 days of continuous session of Congress' and inserting `60 days'.

 
Modification of time period for congressional notification of the lease of certain vessels by the Department of Defense. (sec. 821)

The House bill contained a provision (sec. 811) that would amend section 2401 of title 10, United States Code, by modifying the time period for congressional notification of the lease of certain vessels from 30 days of continuous session to 60 days.

The Senate amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 886) that would change the notice period from 30 days of continuous session to 30 days.

The Senate recedes.

House Report 112-479

SECTION 811--MODIFICATION OF TIME PERIOD FOR CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION OF THE LEASE OF CERTAIN VESSELS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

This section would amend section 2401 of title 10, United States Code, by modifying the time period for congressional notification of the lease of certain vessels from 30 days of continuous session to 60 days.

Senate Report 112-173

Modification of period of wait following notice to Congress of intent to contract for leases of certain vessels and vehicles (sec. 886)

The committee recommends a provision that would amend section 2401(h) of title 10, United States Code, to eliminate the requirement of notification of Congress and then having to wait for 30 days of a continuous session of Congress to pass before a vessel lease contract may be made. The proposed change would ensure that Congress continues to receive a 30-day notice of proposed charters, but would eliminate the uncertainty that results from a congressional schedule that seldom provides a period of 30 days of continuous session.
