     military activities of the Department of Defense, for 
     military construction, and for defense activities of the 
     Department of Energy, to prescribe personnel strengths for 
     such fiscal year for the Armed Forces, and for other 
     purposes,'' having met, have agreed that the Senate recede 
     from its disagreement to the amendment of the House, and
