                       McCAIN AMENDMENT NO. 2300

  Mr. McCAIN proposed an amendment to the bill (H.R. 4453) making 
appropriations for military construction for the Department of Defense 
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995, and for other purposes; 
as follows:

       At the appropriate place in the bill, add the following new 
     section:

     SEC.  . SENSE OF THE SENATE ON FUNDING FOR MILITARY 
                   CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS NOT REQUESTED IN THE 
                   PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL BUDGET REQUEST.

       (a) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that, to the maximum extent practicable, the Senate should 
     consider the appropriation of funds for a military 
     construction project not authorized or included in the annual 
     budget request of the Department of Defense only if:
       (1) the project is consistent with past actions of the Base 
     Realignment and Closure process;
       (2) the project is included in the military construction 
     plan of the military department concerned incorporated in the 
     Future Years Defense Program or is authorized;
       (3) the project is necessary for reasons of the national 
     security of the United States; and
       (4) a contract for construction of the project can be 
     awarded in that fiscal year.
       (b) Views of the Secretary of Defense.--In considering 
     these criteria, the Senate should obtain the views of the 
     Secretary of Defense. These views should include whether 
     funds for a military construction project not included in the 
     budget request can be offset by funds for other programs, 
     projects, or activities, including military construction 
     projects, in the budget request and, if so, the specific 
     offsetting reductions recommended by the Secretary of 
     Defense.
       (c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this provision shall 
     be construed as modifying the provisions of section 2802 of 
     title 10, United States Code.
