SEC. 151. B–2 BOMBER AIRCRAFT PROGRAM. (a) Amount for Program.—Of the amount authorized to be appropriated pursuant to section 103 for the Air Force for fiscal 106 STAT. 2339year 1993 for procurement of aircraft, not more than $2,686,572,000 may be obligated for procurement for the B–2 bomber aircraft program. (b) B–2 Buyout and Termination.—The funds referred to in subsection (a) may be obligated only for the purpose of completing procurement of aircraft for the B–2 bomber program, procurement of spares and parts, and payment of all termination costs under the B–2 program. (c) Limitation on Number of B–2 Aircraft.—A total of not more than 20 deployable B–2 bomber aircraft plus one test aircraft may be procured. (d) Limitation on Obligation of Funds.—Of the funds referred to in subsection (a), not more than $900,000,000 may be obligated until— (1) the Secretary of Defense submits to the congressional defense committees— (A) the reports and certifications referred to in section 131(b)(1) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993 (Public Law 102–190; 105 Stat. 1306); (B) the report under subsection (e); and (C) the report under subsection (f); (2) the Secretary provides to the Comptroller General of the United States for his review and evaluation the reports required under subsection (e) and (f) and 30 calendar days thereafter have elapsed; and (3) after (A) the submission of the reports and certifications required by section 131 of Public Law 102–190, and the reports required under paragraph (1), and (B) either the review period specified in paragraph (2) has elapsed or the Comptroller General has delivered to the congressional defense committees his review of the reports required under subsections (e) and (f), whichever occurs first, there is enacted an Act which permits the obligation of such funds for the procurement of B–2 bomber aircraft. (e) Report on Low Observability and Survivability.—A report of the Secretary of Defense referred to in subsection (d)(1)(B) is a report submitted to the congressional defense committees that includes the following: (1) The assessment by the Secretary of Defense of the extent to which the B–2 aircraft will meet its original low observability (including radar cross section) operational performance objectives, including objectives which were not fulfilled in a B–2 flight test in July 1991. (2) A full description of the information upon which the assessment required by paragraph (1) is based, including all relevant flight test data. (3) A full description of any actions planned to improve the B–2 aircraft’s low observability capabilities beyond the capabilities that have been demonstrated in flight testing by the date of the submission of the report required by this subsection, and the associated costs and benefits. (4) A quantitative assessment by the Secretary of Defense of the likelihood that a B–2 aircraft having the low observable characteristics projected for the aircraft can survive in the execution in the future of its primary mission as a penetrating nonnuclear bomber, as compared to the likelihood that a B– 106 STAT. 23402 aircraft meeting all of its original radar cross section operational performance objectives contained in the current development contract can survive in the execution of such a mission. (f) Report on Cost of Program for 20 B–2 Aircraft.—A report of the Secretary of Defense referred to in subsection (d)(1)(C) is a report submitted to the congressional defense committees that describes the total acquisition costs associated with a B–2 program resulting in 20 deployable aircraft, including all costs associated with research, development, test, and evaluation and procurement (including all planned modifications and retrofits, tooling, preplanned product improvements, support equipment, interim contractor support, initial spares, any Government liability associated with termination, and other Government costs).
