 To amend title 10, United States Code, to authorize the Secretary of 
      Defense to transfer certain excess equipment to educational 
                   institutions and training schools.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. TRANSFER OF CERTAIN EXCESS DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROPERTY TO 
              EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND TRAINING SCHOOLS.

    (a) Authority To Transfer.--Subsection (b)(1) of section 2535(b) of 
title 10, United States Code, is amended--
            (1) in subparagraph (F), by striking out ``and'';
            (2) by redesignating subparagraph (G) as subparagraph (H); 
        and
            (3) by inserting after subparagraph (F) the following new 
        subparagraph (G):
            ``(G) notwithstanding title II of the Federal Property and 
        Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 481 et seq.) and 
        any other provision of law, authorize the transfer, on a 
        nonreimbursable basis, of any such property to any nonprofit 
        educational institution or training school whenever the program 
        proposed by such institution or school for the use of such 
        property will contribute materially to national defense; and''.
    (b) Treatment of Property Loaned Before September 30, 1993.--Except 
for property determined by the Secretary to be needed by the Department 
of Defense, property loaned before September 30, 1993, to an 
educational institution or training school under section 2535(b) of 
title 10, United States Code, or section 4(a)(7) of the Defense 
Industrial Reserve Act (as in effect before October 23, 1992) shall be 
regarded as surplus property. Upon certification by the Secretary to 
the Administrator of General Services that the property is being used 
by the borrowing educational institution or training school for a 
purpose consistent with that for which the property was loaned, the 
Administrator may authorize the conveyance of all right, title, and 
interest of the United States in such property to the borrower if the 
borrower agrees to accept the property. The Administrator may require 
any additional terms and conditions in connection with a conveyance so 
authorized that the Administrator considers appropriate to protect the 
interests of the United States.
