  SA 2743. Mr. BOOZMAN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed 
to amendment SA 2282 submitted by Mr. Inhofe (for himself and Mr. 
McCain) and intended to be proposed to the bill H.R. 5515, to authorize 
appropriations for fiscal year 2019 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 A of title XXVIII, add the 
     following:

     SEC. 2806. REPAIR OF FACILITIES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Little Rock Air Force Base provides a unique and 
     crucial capability, serving as the nation's tactical airlift 
     ``Center of Excellence.'' The continued successful operation 
     of Little Rock Air Force Base is contingent on having a fully 
     operational runway. Little Rock Air Force Base has been 
     pursuing a facilities, restoration and modernization project 
     to achieve critical runway repairs. Previously provided 
     reports and notifications to Congress, as required by section 
     2811 of title 10, United States Code, have yielded 
     conflicting and inconsistent information.
       (2) Facilities sustainment, restoration and modernization 
     (FSRM) needs across the Department of Defense have continued 
     to increase in the absence of traditional military 
     construction resources.
       (3) Facilities sustainment, restoration and modernization 
     projects continue to support the full function and 
     operability of military installations nationwide.
       (b) Notification Requirements.--Section 2811 of title 10, 
     United States Code, is amended--
       (1) by redesignating subsection (e) as subsection (f); and
       (2) by inserting after subsection (d) the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(e) Advance Notification Required.--A repair project 
     under this section may not be carried out unless approved in 
     advance by the Secretary concerned and fourteen days have 
     passed since submission of the report required under 
     subsection (d).''.
