     contemplated by the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the 
     United States and Israel on September 15, 2016.
       (b) Direct Appropriations.--In addition to amounts 
     otherwise available for such purposes, there is appropriated 
     to the Secretary of Defense, out of amounts in the Treasury 
     not otherwise appropriated, $5,000,000,000 for fiscal year 
     2021, to remain available until expended, to replenish the 
     stockpiles of the Government of Israel of missile, rocket, 
     and projectile defense capabilities, including with respect 
     to the Iron Dome short-range rocket defense system, to levels 
     of such stockpiles in effect on May 1, 2021, including 
     through the transfer of defense articles, defense services, 
     technical data, and funding to the Government of Israel.
       (c) Supplement, Not Supplant.--The amounts authorized and 
     appropriated under subsection (b) shall supplement, and not

     procurement of missile, rocket, or projectile defense 
     capabilities, including for the Iron Dome short-range rocket 
     defense system.
       (d) Transfer Required.--The Secretary of Defense shall 
     transfer to the Government of Israel such articles as may be
