      the national defense authorization act for fiscal year 1998

  Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I am pleased to favorably report out 
from the Committee on Armed Services an original bill, without a 
written report, which is a second version of the national defense 
authorization bill for fiscal year 1998.
  This bill is identical to S. 924, the national defense authorization 
bill for fiscal year 1998, ordered reported by the Committee on Armed 
Services on June 12, 1997, except that it does not contain sections 
311, 312, and 313, pertaining to depot-level activities of the 
Department of Defense, which were contained in subtitle B of title III 
of that bill.
