     having authority to obligate or expend such funds that such 
     reimbursement is for restructuring costs associated with a 
     merger, acquisition, or other business combination of the 
     defense contractor.
       (b) Subsection (a) does not apply when it is made known to 
     the Federal official having authority to obligate or expend 
     such funds that--
       (1) the reporting requirement in section 818(e) of Public

     deficit for fiscal years 1996 and 1997, as certified in 
     writing to Congress by the Director of the Congressional 
     Budget Office based on the approximate number of persons to

     unemployment will produce; and an estimate of the increase in 
     Federal expenditures in other Federal adjustment programs, 
     including food stamps, housing assistance, the program of aid 
     to families with dependent children, medicaid programs, and 
     any other programs the Director determines that unemployed 
     persons are likely to use at a rate higher than employed 
     persons; and
       (4) the merger, acquisition, or other business combination 
     with respect to which the restructuring costs are associated 
     took place after July 1, 1993.
