                                 A BILL


 
 To require the Secretary of Defense and the Defense Base Closure and 
Realignment Commission to make recommendations in 1993 and 1995 for the 
   termination and reduction of United States military operations at 
           military installations outside the United States.

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

SECTION 1. CLOSURE AND REALIGNMENT OF MILITARY INSTALLATIONS OUTSIDE 
              THE UNITED STATES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) It is necessary to reduce military operations by the 
        United States at military installations located outside the 
        United States because of the changing threat to the national 
        security and because of budgetary constraints.
            (2) The number of United States military personnel 
        stationed overseas is scheduled to be reduced over the next 
        three years.
            (3) Congress has accepted two sets of commission 
        recommendations regarding the closure and realignment of 
        military installations inside the United States and will soon 
        consider a third set of commission recommendations.
            (4) Closures and realignments of military installations 
        inside the United States have a profound economic impact on the 
        communities involved.
            (5) It is essential that future recommendations by the 
        Secretary of Defense and by the Defense Base Closure and 
        Realignment Commission concerning the closure and realignment 
        of military installations include recommendations for the 
        termination and reduction of military operations carried out by 
        the United States at military installations located outside the 
        United States.
    (b) Recommendations Regarding Military Operations Outside the 
United States.--The Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 
(part A of title XXIX of Public Law 101-510; 10 U.S.C. 2687 note) is 
amended by adding at the end the following new section:

``SEC. 2912. MILITARY INSTALLATIONS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.

    ``In 1993 and 1995, the Secretary and the Commission shall each 
submit recommendations for the termination and reduction of military 
operations carried out by the United States at installations outside 
the United States with the recommendations for closure and realignment 
of military installations that the Secretary and the Commission, 
respectively, submit under this part in those years.''.
