SEC. 215. FEDERALLY FUNDED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTERS. (a) Centers Covered.—Funds appropriated or otherwise made available for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1994 pursuant to an authorization of appropriations in section 201 may be obligated to procure work from a federally funded research and development center only in the case of a center named in the report required by subsection (b) and, in the case of such a center, only in an amount not in excess of the amount of the proposed funding level set forth for that center in such report. (b) Report on Allocations for Centers.—Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report containing— (1) the name of each federally funded research and development center from which work is proposed to be procured for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1994; and (2) for each such center, the proposed funding level and the estimated personnel level for fiscal year 1994. The total of the proposed funding levels set forth in the report for all federally funded research and development centers may not exceed the amount set forth in subsection (d). (c) Limitation Pending Submission of Report.—No funds appropriated or otherwise made available for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1994 may be obligated to obtain work from a federally funded research and development center until the Secretary of Defense submits the report required by subsection (b). (d) Funding.—Of the amounts authorized to be appropriated to the Department of Defense for research, development, test, and evaluation for fiscal year 1994 pursuant to section 201, not more than a total of $1,352,650,000 may be obligated to procure services from the federally funded research and development centers named in the report required by subsection (b). (e) Authority To Waive Funding Limitation.—The Secretary of Defense may waive the limitation regarding the maximum funding amount that applies under subsection (a) to a federally funded research and development center. Whenever the Secretary proposes to make such a waiver, the Secretary shall submit to the congressional defense committees notice of the proposed waiver and the reasons for the waiver. The waiver may then be made only after the end of the 60-day period that begins on the date on which the notice is submitted to those committees, unless the Secretary determines that it is essential to the national security that funds be obligated for work at that center in excess of that limitation before the end of such period and notifies the congressional defense committees of that determination and the reasons for the determination. (f) Undistributed Reduction.—The total amount authorized to be appropriated for research, development, test, and evaluation in section 201 is hereby reduced by $200,000,000.
