JWNDAA Section

House Conference Report 109-702

Section 812 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Public Law 108-136; 117 Stat. 1542) is amended--

(1) by amending the heading to read as follows:

(2) by adding at the end of subsection (c)(2)(A) the following new clauses:

`(v) The dollar value of any articles, materials, or supplies purchased that were manufactured outside of the United States.

`(vi) An itemized list of all waivers granted with respect to such articles, materials, or supplies under the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a et seq.).

`(vii) A summary of--

`(I) the total procurement funds expended on articles, materials, and supplies manufactured inside the United States; and

`(II) the total procurement funds expended on articles, materials, and supplies manufactured outside the United States.'; and

(3) by adding at the end the following new subsections:

`(d) Public Availability- The Secretary of Defense shall make the report submitted under subsection (c) publicly available to the maximum extent practicable.

`(e) Applicability- This section shall not apply to acquisitions made by an agency, or component thereof, that is an element of the intelligence community as set forth in or designated under section 3(4) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401a(4)).'.

The Senate amendment contained a provision (sec. 1070A) that would require the Department of Defense to submit a report to Congress on the amount of the acquisitions of articles, materials, and supplies made by the Department in the preceding fiscal year from entities that manufacture articles, materials, or supplies outside of the United States.

The House bill contained no similar provision.

The House recedes with an amendment that would amend section 812 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Public Law 108–136) to include the reporting requirements of section 1070A in the Senate amendment.
