SEC. 2. TERMINATION OF C-17 STRATEGIC AIRLIFT PROGRAM.

    (a) Program Termination.--The Secretary of Defense shall terminate 
the C-17 aircraft acquisition program with those aircraft for which 
funds are appropriated for fiscal year 1996. No funds appropriated to 
the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1996 may be obligated for 
procurement of long-lead items for C-17 aircraft, and no funds 
appropriated to the Department of Defense for a fiscal year after 
fiscal year 1996 may be obligated for procurement of C-17 aircraft or 
for procurement of long-lead items for such aircraft.
    (b) Alternative Strategic Airlift Program.--(1) The Secretary shall 
develop a program to meet the remaining strategic airlift requirements 
of the Air Force through acquisition of nondevelopmental airlift 
aircraft.
    (2) For purposes of paragraph (1), the remaining strategic airlift 
requirements of the Air Force are those requirements that before the 
date of the enactment of this Act were programmed to be met through the 
acquisition of C-17 aircraft using funds appropriated for a fiscal year 
after fiscal year 1996.
    (3) Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report on the program 
developed under paragraph (1). The report shall describe the proposed 
scope, pace, and cost of the acquisition of nondevelopmental airlift 
aircraft under that program.
