       (a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of 
     Defense for Security Cooperation shall submit to the 
     appropriate congressional committees a report on Defense 
     Security Cooperation Agency management of Foreign Military 
     Sales (FMS) overhead accounts.
       (b) Elements.--The report required under subsection (a) 
     shall include the following elements:
       (1) An analysis of the appropriate upper limit for 
     administrative and contract administration services (CAS) 
     accounts.
       (2) An assessment of the amounts available for transfer 
     above the safety level in the administrative and CAS 
     accounts.
       (3) An assessment and prioritization of activities or 
     programs that could improve the efficiency of the FMS 
     process, including increased training for or expansion of the 
     FMS workforce, using such funds available for transfer.
       (4) A description of the total workforce requirements 
     necessary to manage the Foreign Military Sales process,

     which shall be included in congressional budget justification

       (6) An examination of whether an increased diversity of FMS 
     administrative and CAS fee type and size might better align 
     with the preferences of different buyers.
       (7) A comparison of how the analysis used to generate 
     safety levels for the administrative and CAS accounts is 
     different from best practices used to generate safety levels
