Defense Modernization Account amendments (sec. 804)
The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 899B) that
would amend section 2216 of title 10, United States Code, to
clarify authorizations for the Defense Modernization Account.
The House amendment contained no similar provision.
The House recedes with an amendment that would exclude the
transfer of funds that support installations and facilities to
the Defense Modernization Account. The amendment would set a
$1.0 billion limit on the total balance of the account and
require that an acquisition program milestone decision authority
approve the use of funds in the account. The amendment would
also require that subaccounts be established for each of the
military departments and defense agencies that deposit and use
funds in the account. |
