    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

(Public Law 104-208) is amended by adding at the end the following new 
subsection:
    ``(h) Limitation on Procurement of Service Contracts.--
            ``(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the President 
        shall take appropriate action to ensure that there is no 
        increase in the procurement of service contracts by reason of 
        the enactment of this section, except in cases in which a cost 
        comparison demonstrates such contracts would be to the 
        financial advantage of the Federal Government.
            ``(2) The duties and responsibilities of an individual who 
        separates from Government service in order to receive a 
        voluntary separation incentive payment under this section may 
        not be performed, in whole or in part, by any person under 
        contract with the United States.''.
