 To provide for a pilot program to enhance military recruiting through 
     the use of recently retired enlisted personnel as recruiters.

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

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Military Recruiting Enhancement Act 
of 2000''.

SEC. 2. PILOT PROGRAM TO ENHANCE MILITARY RECRUITING.

    (a) Pilot Program.--The Secretary of the Air Force shall carry out 
during fiscal years 2002 and 2003 a pilot program to determine the 
effectiveness of using as military recruiters recently retired enlisted 
members of the Air Force who volunteer to be recalled to active duty to 
serve for that purpose and who are determined appropriate for that 
purpose by the Secretary.
    (b) Scope of Program.--Not more than 200 retired members of the Air 
Force may be recalled to active duty for purposes of the pilot program 
at any time. The period of a recall to active duty under the pilot 
program may not exceed two years or extend beyond September 30, 2004.
    (c) Report to Congress.--Not later than 180 days after the end of 
the pilot program, the Secretary of the Air Force shall submit to the 
Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed 
Services of the House of Representatives a report on the pilot program. 
The report shall--
            (1) describe the experience under the pilot program;
            (2) set forth the Secretary's assessment of (A) the 
        efficacy of the program for military recruiting, and (B) the 
        effect of the program on career patterns for junior active-duty 
        enlisted personnel who, but for the pilot program, would have 
        been assigned to military recruiting duty; and
            (3) include the Secretary's recommendations as to 
        continuation or expansion of the program.
                                 <all>
