    (a) Conditions.--The Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of the 
Army shall not fund the transfer of personnel or functions from Fort 
Monmouth, New Jersey, pursuant to the recommendations of the Defense 
Base Closure and Realignment Commission contained in the report 
transmitted to Congress on September 15, 2005, under section 2903(e) of

report of the Secretary of Defense stating that the movement of 
organizations, functions, or activities from Fort Monmouth to Aberdeen 
Proving Ground will be accomplished without disruption of their support 
to the global war on terror or other critical contingency operations 
and that safeguards exist to ensure that necessary redundant 
capabilities are put in place to mitigate potential degradation of such 
support and to ensure maximum retention of critical workforce, as 
required by the Commission recommendations.
