        from the restructuring will exceed the costs allowed and the

for the projects and in the amounts provided for in House Report 104-
863 of the House of Representatives, 104th Congress, second session.
    Sec. 8099. Effective on June 30, 1998, section 8106(a) of the 
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 1997 (titles I through VIII 
of the matter under section 101(b) of Public Law 104-208; 110 Stat. 
3009-111; 10 U.S.C. 113 note), is amended by striking out 
``$3,000,000'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``$1,000,000''.
    Sec. 8099A. It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) international efforts to bring indicted war criminals 
        to justice in Bosnia and Herzegovina consistent with the 1995 
        Dayton Accords should be supported as an important element in 
        creating a self-sustaining peace in the region;
            (2) the Administration should consult closely with the 
        Congress on all efforts to bring indicted war criminals to 
        justice in Bosnia and Herzegovina consistent with the 1995 
        Dayton Accords; and
            (3) the Administration should consult closely and in a 
        timely manner with the Congress on the NATO-led Stabilization 
        Force's mission concerning the apprehension of indicted war 
        criminals, including any changes in the mission which could 
        affect American forces.
    Sec. 8099B. Up to $4,500,000 of funds available to the Department

    Sec. 8099D. (a) Findings.--(1) The North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization, at the Madrid summit, decided to admit three new members,

    (2) The President, on behalf of the United States endorsed and 
advocated the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to 
include three additional members.
    (3) The Senate will consider the ratification of instruments to

Organization.

since 1952 for infrastructure and support of the Alliance.

    (6) In appropriations Acts likely to be considered by the Senate 
for fiscal year 1998, $9,983,300,000 has been requested by the

and report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
October 1, 1997--
            (1) the amounts necessary, by appropriation account, for 
        all anticipated costs to the United States for the admission of 
        the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary to the North Atlantic 
        Treaty Organization for the fiscal years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 
        and 2002; and
            (2) any new commitments or obligations entered into or 
        assumed by the United States in association with the admission 
        of new members to the Alliance, to include the deployment of

        articles or equipment, training activities and the modification 
        and construction of military facilities.
    Sec. 8099E. (a) The Secretary of Defense shall waive generally with 
respect to a foreign country each limitation on procurements from 
foreign sources provided in law if the Secretary determines that the 
application of the limitation with respect to that country would impede 
cooperative programs entered into between the Department of Defense and 
the foreign country, or would impede arrangements for the reciprocal 
procurement of defense items entered into under section 2531 of title 
10, United States Code, or under any other provision of law, and the 
country does not discriminate against defense items produced in the 
United States to a greater degree than the United States discriminates 
against defense items produced in that country.
    (b) Subsection (a) applies with respect to--
            (1) contracts and subcontracts entered into on or after the 
        date of the enactment of this Act; and
            (2) options for the procurement of items that are exercised 
        after such date under contracts that are entered into before 
        such date if the option prices are adjusted for any reason 
        other than the application of a waiver granted under subsection 
        (a).
    (c) Subsection (a) does not apply to a limitation regarding 
construction of warships.
    Sec. 8099F. It is the sense of Congress that should the Senate 
ratify NATO enlargement, that the proportional cost of the United 
States share of the NATO common budget should not increase, and that if 
any NATO member does not pay its share, the United States shall not pay 
either.
    Sec. 8099G. Congress finds that the Defense Base Closure and 
Realignment Commission directed the transfer of only 10 electro-
magnetic test environment systems from Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, 
to Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.
    Sec. 8099H. (a) Findings.--(1) The Department of Defense budget is 
insufficient to fulfill all the requirements on the unfunded priorities 
lists of the military services and defense agencies;
    (2) the documented printing expenses of the Department of Defense 
amount to several hundred million dollars per year, and a similar 
amount of undocumented printing expenses may be included in external 
defense contracts;
    (3) printing in two or more colors generally increases costs;
    (4) the Joint Committee on Printing of the Congress of the United 
States has established regulations intended to protect taxpayers from 
extravagant Government printing expenses;
    (5) the Government Printing and Binding Regulations published by 
the Joint Committee on Printing direct that ``. . . it is the 
responsibility of the head of any department, independent office or 
establishment of the Government to assure that all multicolor printing 
shall contribute demonstrable value toward achieving a greater 
fulfillment of the ultimate end-purpose of whatever printed item in 
which it is included.'';
    (6) the Department of Defense publishes a large number of 
brochures, calendars, and other products in which the use of multicolor 
printing does not appear to meet the demonstrably valuable contribution 
requirement of the Joint Committee on Printing, but instead appears to 
be used primarily for decorative effect; and
    (7) the Department of Defense could save resources for higher 
priority needs by reducing printing expenses.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--Therefore, it is the sense of the Senate 
that--
            (1) the Secretary of Defense should ensure that the 
        printing costs of the Department of Defense and military 
        services are held to the lowest amount possible;
            (2) the Department of Defense should strictly comply with 
        the Printing and Binding Regulations published by the Joint 
        Committee on Printing of the Congress of the United States;
            (3) the Department of Defense budget submission for fiscal 
        year 1999 should reflect the savings that will result from the 
        stricter printing guidelines in paragraphs (1) and (2).
    This Act may be cited as the ``Department of Defense Appropriations 
Act, 1998''.

            Attest:

                                                             Secretary.
