the Secretary determines necessary to ensure the continued operation of 
a commissary store that, without the availability of appropriated 
funds, would be severely impaired by reason of the remote location of 
the commissary store or unusually high costs of operation or to the 
extent that the Secretary determines otherwise necessary for the 
welfare of personnel eligible to patronize the commissary store.
    ``(b) Source of Funds.--The expenses of the operation of commissary 
stores shall be paid out of revenues received from the operation of 
commissary stores.
    ``(c) Availability of Revenues.--Revenues received from the 
operation of commissary stores shall be available without fiscal year 
limitation for paying the expenses of the operation of commissary 
stores.''.

        shall take effect on October 1, 1996.
    (b) Implementation of Operating Efficiencies.--The Secretary of 
Defense shall ensure that the actions taken to increase the cost 
effectiveness of commissary store operations do not result in reduced 
benefits for commissary store patrons with respect to the price of 
goods and produce and do not adversely affect commissary stores that 
are in remote or high cost locations.
    (c) Phased Reduction of Appropriations for Commissary Store 
Operations.--
            (1) Authorization of appropriations.--Funds are authorized 
        to be appropriated for the Department of Defense for operation 
        of commissary stores as follows:
                    (A) For fiscal year 1994, the amount equal to the 
                amount expended for fiscal year 1993 for operation of 
                commissary stores out of funds appropriated to the 
                Department of Defense.
                    (B) For fiscal year 1995, the amount equal to 75 
                percent of the amount authorized to be appropriated for 
                fiscal year 1994 under paragraph (1).
                    (C) For fiscal year 1996, the amount equal to 50 
                percent of the amount authorized to be appropriated for 
                fiscal year 1994 under paragraph (1).
            (2) Special rule.--The Committees on Appropriations of the 
        Senate and House of Representatives shall provide in reported 
        bills making appropriations for the Department of Defense for 
        each of fiscal year 1994, 1995, or 1996, an amount for 
        operation of commissary stores for such fiscal year that does 
        not exceed the amount authorized by paragraph (1) to be 
        appropriated for that fiscal year reduced by a factor that is 
        commensurate with the reduction in the size of the Armed Forces 
        below the size of the Armed Forces in fiscal year 1993.

                    TITLE IX--REINVENTING GOVERNMENT

SEC. 901. ENCOURAGING AGENCY COST EFFICIENCY AND EMPLOYEE SAVINGS 
              IDEAS.

    (a) Shared Savings.--In any fiscal year, any agency that has budget 
authority appropriated to the agency in operational accounts which--
            (1) will be unobligated on the last day of such fiscal 
        year; and
            (2) will expire at the end of the last day of such fiscal 
        year,
may place up to 50 percent of such budget authority into an agency 
innovation fund.
    (b) Innovation Funds.--There are established at the Department of 
the Treasury, innovation funds for each executive agency of the Federal 
Government. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any funds 
transferred to one of these funds pursuant to subsection (a) shall 
remain available for obligation for a qualified purpose, as defined in 
subsection (c), for an additional 2 years beyond the date the funds 
would otherwise have expired.
    (c) Qualified Purpose.--The head of an agency may authorize the 
Secretary of the Treasury to disburse funds from that agency's 
innovation fund for the following qualified purposes:
            (1) Up to a maximum of 2 percent of the funds transferred 
        by the agency at the end of the previous fiscal year to the 
        innovation fund, to pay savings bonuses to employees of offices 
        of the agency that assisted in saving the funds so transferred. 
        The head of the agency shall ensure that such bonuses are 
        equitably distributed among employees of an office that 
        assisted in saving the funds so transferred, and that the 
        aggregate amount of savings bonuses to each office reflect the 
        proportionate contribution of that office to aggregate agency 
        savings so transferred during the previous fiscal year.
            (2) To conduct additional debt collection activities. The 
        head of the agency and chief financial officer of the agency 
        certify that the additional collections from expenditures 
        permitted by this paragraph from the innovation fund will 
        exceed the expenditures from the innovation fund.
            (3) To acquire information technology that will 
        substantially improve efficiency or customer service. The 
        agency head and chief financial officer certify that the 
        expenditures permitted by this paragraph will substantially 
        improve efficiency or customer service and such expenditures 
        are approved by the Director of the Office of Management and 
        Budget, or his designee.
            (4) To conduct pilot projects on methods to improve 
        customer service.
    (d) Annual Reports.--The head of each agency shall annually submit 
to the President and Congress a report containing--
            (1) a listing of all expenditures from the innovation fund;
            (2) the purpose of such expenditures;
            (3) a statement of performance indicators and performance 
        goals for evaluation of each activity funded by the innovation 
        fund; and
            (4) an evaluation of whether activities funded by the 
        innovation fund have met or exceeded performance goals.
    (e) Definitions.--For the purposes of this section--
            (1) the term ``operational accounts'' means those accounts 
        so designated by the department or agency head pursuant to 
        guidance issued by the Director of the Office of Management and 
        Budget, but shall not include funds intended to be distributed 
        as grants or entitlements; and
            (2) the terms ``performance goal'' and ``performance 
        indicator'' shall have the same meaning given such terms in 
        section 1115(f) of title 31, United States Code.
    (f) Relationship to Other Provisions of Law.--The provisions of 
this section shall apply to any unexpired appropriation in existence on 
the date of enactment of this section, and to any appropriation enacted 
after the date of enactment of this section, except where such 
appropriation specifically excludes application of this section.
