    ``(B) The head of the agency shall notify the congressional defense committees within 30 days after any determination under clause (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) of subparagraph (A).''.

    (b) Congressional Intelligence Committees.--In the case of a task or delivery order contract awarded with respect to intelligence activities of the Department of Defense, any notification provided under subparagraph (B) of section 2304a(d)(3) of title 10, United States Code, as amended by subsection (a), shall also be provided at the same time as notification is provided to the congressional defense committees under that subparagraph--

    (1) to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives insofar as such task or delivery order contract relates to tactical intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the Department; and

    (2) to the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives insofar as such task or delivery order contract relates to intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the Department other than those specified in paragraph (1).

   The House bill contained a provision (sec. 813) that would clarify the congressional committees required to be notified of the award of a single source task or delivery order under section 2304a(d)(3) of title 10, United States Code.

   The Senate amendment contained no similar provision.

   The Senate recedes with a clarifying amendment.
