(B) Limited Protection Systems. (C) Theater and ATBM Defenses. (D) Follow-On Systems. (E) Research and Support Activities. 104 STAT. 1512 (2) The program elements in paragraph (1) shall be the only program elements used in the program and budget information concerning the Strategic Defense Initiative submitted to Congress by the Secretary of Defense in support of the budget submitted to Congress by the President under section 1105 of title 31, United States Code, for any fiscal year after fiscal year 1991. (b) Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation Objectives.— (1) Phase i defenses.— The Phase I Defenses program element shall include programs, projects, and activities which have as a primary objective the development of systems, components, and architectures for a strategic defense system capable of providing low to moderate defensive capabilities against a large-scale ballistic missile attack against the United States. Such activities may include those necessary to develop systems, components, and architectures capable of providing an early deployment option against limited attacks, including accidental, unauthorized, or deliberate launch of a small number of ballistic missiles. (2) Limited protection systems.— The Limited Protection Systems program element shall include programs, projects, and activities which have as a primary objective the development of systems and components which, if deployed as a limited defense, would not be in violation of the 1972 ABM Treaty. For purposes of planning, evaluation, design, and effectiveness studies, such programs, projects, and activities may take into consideration both the current numerical limitations of the 1972 ABM Treaty and modest changes to those numerical limitations. (3) Theater and atbm defenses.— The Theater and ATBM Defenses program element shall include programs, projects, and activities which have as a primary objective— (A) the development of deployable and rapidly relocatable anti-tactical ballistic missile (ATBM) defenses for forward deployed and expeditionary United States armed forces, and (B) cooperation with friendly and allied nations in the development of theater defenses against tactical ballistic missiles. (4) Follow-on systems.— The Follow-On Systems program element shall include programs, projects, and activities which have as a primary objective the development of technologies capable of supporting systems, components, and architectures that could produce highly effective defenses for deployment after the beginning of the twenty-first century. (5) Research and support activities.— The Research and Support Activities program element shall include programs, projects, and activities which have as a primary objective— (A) the provision of basic research and technical, engineering, and managerial support to the programs, projects, and activities within the program elements in paragraphs (1) through (4); (B) innovative science and technology projects; (C) the provision of test and evaluation services; and (D) program management. (c) Funding Limitations.— (1) Of the amounts appropriated pursuant to section 201 or otherwise made available to the Department of Defense for research, development, test, and evaluation for104 STAT. 1513 fiscal year 1991, not more than $2,890,000,000 may be obligated for the Strategic Defense Initiative. (2) Of the amount described in paragraph (1)— (A) not more than $817,300,000 shall be available for programs, projects, and activities within the Phase I Defenses program element; (B) not more than $389,000,000 shall be available for programs, projects, and activities within the Limited Protection Systems program element; (C) not more than $180,000,000 shall be available for programs, projects, and activities within the Theater and ATBM Defenses program element; (D) not more than $754,300,000 shall be available for programs, projects, and activities within the Follow-On Systems program element; and (E) not more than $749,400,000 shall be available for programs, projects, and activities within the Research and Support Activities program element. (3) Funds may be obligated for programs, projects, and activities which have as their primary purpose the support of the Brilliant Pebbles space-based interceptor system only through programs, projects, and activities within the Phase I Defenses program element. (4) Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the allocation of funds appropriated for the Strategic Defense Initiative for fiscal year 1991. The report shall specify the amount of such funds allocated for each program, project, and activity of the Strategic Defense Initiative and shall list each program, project, and activity under the appropriate program element. (5) (A) Before the submission of the report required under paragraph (4) and notwithstanding the limitations in paragraph (2), the Secretary of Defense may transfer funds among the program elements described in paragraph (2). (B) The total amount that may be transferred to or from any program element described in paragraph (2)— (i) may not exceed 10 percent of the amount provided in such paragraph for the program element from which the transfer is made; and (ii) may not result in an increase of more than 10 percent of the amount provided in such paragraph for the program element to which the transfer is made. (C) Amounts transferred pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall be merged with and be available for the same purposes as the amounts to which transferred. (d) Definition.— In this section, the term “1972 ABM Treaty” means the Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Limitations of Anti-Ballistic Missiles, signed at Moscow on May 26, 1972.
