P. L. 112-	House Conference Report 112-705
SEC. 863. EXTENSION OF OTHER TRANSACTION AUTHORITY. Section 845(i) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (10 U.S.C. 2371 note) is amended by striking `September 30, 2013' and inserting `September 30, 2018'.	Extension of other transaction authority (sec. 863) The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 887) that would extend for 5 years the authority for the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot program for the acquisition of certain prototypes pursuant to `other transactions' under section 845 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160). The House bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to review the authority extended by this provision and make a recommendation as to whether the authority should be made permanent. The conferees expect the Secretary to ensure that applicable guidance provides appropriate safeguards against abuse before seeking permanent authority.
