SECTION 1. REDUCING THE NUMBER OF NON-ESSENTIAL NEW VEHICLES PURCHASED 
              AND LEASED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

    (a) Reductions in Non-Essential Vehicle Purchases.--Notwithstanding 
any other provision of law, the Office of Management and Budget shall 
coordinate with the heads of the relevant departments and agencies to--
            (1) determine the total dollar amount spent by each 
        department and agency to purchase of civilian and non-tactical 
        vehicles in fiscal year 2010;
            (2) determine the total dollar amount spent by each 
        department and agency to lease civilian and non-tactical 
        vehicles in fiscal year 2010;
            (3) determine the total number of civilian and non-tactical 
        vehicles purchased by each department and agency in fiscal year 
        2010;
            (4) determine the total number of civilian and non-tactical 
        vehicles leased by each department and agency in fiscal year 
        2010;
            (5) determine the total dollar amounts that would be 20 
        percent less than the dollar amounts determined in paragraphs 
        (1) and (2);
            (6) reduce the dollar amounts spent to purchase and lease 
        civilian and non-tactical vehicles by each department and 
        agency to an amount equal to the reduced total dollar amounts 
        identified by paragraph (5) in fiscal year 2012; and
            (7) rescind an amount equal to the 20 percent identified 
        from paragraph (5) from each department and agency in fiscal 
        year 2012 and return those amounts to the Treasury.
    (b) Sharing.--The General Service Administration shall ensure 
departments and agencies may share excess or unused vehicles with 
agencies that may need temporary or long-term use of additional 
vehicles through the Federal Fleet Management System.
    (c) Exception.--The limits on the purchase and procurement of 
vehicles provided in this section shall not apply to the purchase or 
procurement of any vehicle--
            (1) for the United States Postal Service; or
            (2) deemed essential for defense or security reasons or 
        necessary for other reasons deemed as essential and approved by 
        the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
    (d) Study.--Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of 
this Act, the Inspector General of each department and agency shall 
review the system of the such department or agency for monitoring the 
use of motor vehicles owned or leased by the Government for non-
official use, including a review of the ``written authorizations within 
the agency'' to monitor the use of motor vehicles in the fleet of the 
department or agency, as required under section 102-34 of title 41, 
Code of Federal Regulations and report the findings to Congress.
