otherwise alter the employee obligations, rights or liabilities created 
by Executive Order 12356; section 7211 of title 5, United States Code 
(governing disclosures to Congress); section 1034 of title 10, United 
States Code, as amended by the Military Whistleblower Protection Act

agreement that is to be executed by a person connected with the conduct 
of an intelligence or intelligence-related activity, other than an 
employee or officer of the United States Government, may contain 
provisions appropriate to the particular activity for which such 
document is to be used. Such form or agreement shall, at a minimum, 
require that the person will not disclose any classified information 
received in the course of such activity unless specifically authorized 
to do so by the United States Government. Such nondisclosure forms must 
also make it clear that they do not bar disclosures to Congress or to 
an authorized official of an executive agency or the Department of 
Justice that are essential to reporting a substantial violation of law.
    Sec. 633. (a) None of the funds appropriated by this or any other 
Act may be expended by any Federal Agency to procure any product or 
service that is subject to the provisions of Public Law 89-306 and that 
will be available under the procurement by the Administrator of General 
Services known as ``FTS2000'' unless--
            (1) such product or service is procured by the 
        Administrator of General Services as part of the procurement 
        known as ``FTS2000''; or
            (2) that agency establishes to the satisfaction of the 
        Administrator of General Services that--
                    (A) that agency's requirements for such procurement 
                are unique and cannot be satisfied by property and 
                service procured by the Administrator of General 
                Services as part of the procurement known as 
                ``FTS2000''; and
                    (B) the agency procurement, pursuant to such 
                delegation, would be cost-effective and would not 
                adversely affect the cost-effectiveness of the FTS2000 
                procurement.
    (b) After July 31, 1996, subsection (a) shall apply only if the 
Administrator of General Services has reported that the FTS2000 
procurement is producing prices that allow the Government to satisfy 
its requirements for such procurement in the most cost-effective 
manner.

            (B) in subsection (c)(1)(A)(ii), by striking out ``The 
        basis upon which the former member's annuity at the time of 
        death was computed'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``The
