     shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report 
     setting forth the results of a study, conducted by the

     for members of the Armed Forces that is not currently payable 
     to members of the reserve components.
       (b) Elements.--The report required by subsection (a) shall

     or appropriate duty in the month.
       (2) A statement of the number of members of the reserve
