Pub. L. 94-106, tit. VIII, sec. 814

Sec. 814. (a) It is the sense of the Congress that equipment, procedures, ammunition, fuel and other military impedimenta for land, air and naval forces of the United States stationed in Europe under the terms of the North Atlantic Treaty should be standardized or made interoperable with that of other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to the maximum extent feasible. In carrying out such policy the Secretary of Defense shall, to the maximum feasible extent, initiate and carry out procurement procedures that provide for the acquisition of equipment which is standardized or interoperable with equipment of other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization whenever such equipment is designed primarily to be used by personnel of the Armed Forces of the United States stationed in Europe under the terms of the North Atlantic Treaty. (b) The report required under section 302(c) of Public Law 93–365 shall include a listing of the initiation of procurement action on any new major system not in compliance with the policy set forth in section (a). (c) Section 302(c) of Public Law 93–365 is amended by deleting the last two sentences and inserting in lieu thereof the following: “The Secretary of Defense shall report annually, not later than January 31 of each year, to the Congress on the specific assessments and evaluations made under the above provisions as well as the results achieved with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies.”.
