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

P. L. 108-375

House Conference Report 108-767

SEC. 844. EXTENSION OF PILOT PROGRAM ON SALES OF MANUFACTURED ARTICLES AND SERVICES OF CERTAIN ARMY INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES.

Section 141(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (Public Law 105–85; 10 U.S.C. 4543 note) is amended by striking ‘‘through 2004’’ in the first sentence and inserting ‘‘through 2009’’.  

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 824) that would extend for five years the pilot program for the sale of manufactured articles and services from Army Industrial facilities enacted in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (Public Law 105-85).  The program tests the efficiency and appropriateness of selling manufactured articles and services at Army facilities under the authority of section 4543 of title 10, United States Code, without regard to the availability of the articles and services from U. S. commercial sources.

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The House recedes.
