  SA 4622. Mr. FLAKE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the bill S. 2943, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 
2017 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military 
construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, 
to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for 
other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the end of subtitle E of title V, add the following:

     SEC. 565. COORDINATION AND, AS APPROPRIATE, CONSOLIDATION OF 
                   FINANCIAL LITERACY PROGRAMS AND TRAINING FOR 
                   MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES.

       (a) Plan Required.--Not later than one year after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall 
     submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives a report setting forth a plan 
     for the coordination and, as possible, consolidation of the 
     current financial literacy training programs of the 
     Department of Defense and the military departments for 
     members of the Armed Forces into a coordinated and 
     comprehensive program of financial literacy training for 
     members that provides access over the life of the members' 
     service and in transit--

     comprehensive training in financial literacy as efficiently 
     as possible.

     Secretaries of the military departments shall commence 
     implementation of the plan required by subsection (a) 90 days 
     after the date of the submittal of the plan as required by
