classified schedule of authorizations

classified schedule of authorizations Sec. 102. (a)(1) This Act authorizes funds for intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United States Government for fiscal year 1988 based upon two alternative levels of new budget authority provided for national defense functions (budget function 050) through congressional budget procedures. In section 3(b)(1) of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1988 (House Concurrent Resolution 93 of the One Hundredth Congress), Congress determined and declared that the appropriate level of new budget authority for national defense for fiscal year 1988 is $296,000,000,000. This Act authorizes funds based upon that determination and declaration and the assumption that that level of budget authority is available to be appropriated. (2) Section 5(a)(1) of the concurrent resolution reserved $7,000,000,000 of that amount from availability for appropriation pending enactment of certain deficit reduction legislation, leaving a level of $289,000,000,000 immediately available for appropriation. This Act authorizes alternative levels of funds based upon that budget authority amount. (b) The amounts authorized to be appropriated under section 101, and the authorized personnel ceilings as of September 30, 1988, for the conduct of the intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the elements listed in such section, are those specified in the column entitled “Conference Agreement” of the classified Schedule of Authorizations prepared by the committee of conference to accompany H.R. 2112 of the One Hundredth Congress except that, if as of the date of the enactment of this Act there has not been enacted legislation that results in the availability for appropriation of a level of new budget authority for national defense functions of the Government (budget function 050) for fiscal year 1988 in an amount greater than $289,000,000,000 then until such legislation is enacted such amounts and ceilings are those specified in the column entitled “Contingent Level” of such classified Schedule of Authorizations: Provided, That notwithstanding the requirements of section 502(a)(1) of the National Security Act of 1947, funds for the activities listed in that part of such Schedule entitled “Unauthorized Appropriations” may be obligated and expended only to the extent to which funds are appropriated therefore in fiscal year 1988. (c) The Schedule of Authorizations described in subsection (b) shall be made available to the Commmittee on Appropriations of the Senate and House of Representatives and to the President. The President shall provide for suitable distribution of the Schedule, or of appropriate portions of the Schedule, within the executive branch. (d)(1) It is the sense of Congress that, in allocating reductions of nonheadquarters personnel of Defense Agencies pursuant to subsection (b)(2)(A) and subsection (d) of section 601 of Public Law 99–433 (100 Stat. 1065), the Secretary of Defense should avoid allocating personnel reductions to the Defense Intelligence Agency or the Defense Mapping Agency. (2) For purposes of paragraph (1), the term “nonheadquarters personnel” means members of the Armed Forces and Civilian employees assigned or detailed to permanent duty in the Defense Agencies and Department of Defense Field Activities, other than members and employees assigned or detailed to duty in management headquarters activities or management headquarters support activities.
