                   IMPLEMENTATION OF SECTION 7103 OF TITLE 5, 
                   UNITED STATES CODE, BY EXECUTIVE ORDER.

     resolution pursuant to pursuant to section 2002, or an 
     amendment to, conference report on, or amendment between the 
     Houses in relation to such a bill or joint resolution, if, 
     during the 1-year period preceding such consideration, the 
     President made a change to the implementation of section 7103 
     of title 5, United States Code, authorizing the President to 
     void a collective bargaining agreement applicable to an 
     agency or subdivision of an agency if the President 
     determines that--

     intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national 
     security work; and
       (2) the provisions of chapter 71 of title 5, United States 
     Code, cannot be applied to that agency or subdivision in a
