     RELATIONSHIP OF ANNUAL AUTHORIZATION TO DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 
                             APPROPRIATIONS

          History of Section 114, Title 10, United States Code

    The jurisdiction of the committee so far as specific annual 
authorizations are concerned was increased significantly in 
1959 by the enactment of section 412(b) of Public Law 86-149 
which required annual congressional authorization of 
appropriations for the procurement of aircraft, missiles and 
naval vessels. That law was amended and expanded as follows:
    In 1962 (Public Law 88-436) to require similar 
authorization of appropriations for research, development, 
test, or evaluation associated with aircraft, missiles and 
naval vessels;
    In 1963 (Public Law 88-174) to require similar 
authorization of appropriations for all research, development, 
test, or evaluation carried on by the Department of Defense;
    In 1965 (Public Law 89-37) to require authorization of 
appropriations for the procurement of tracked combat vehicles;
    In 1967 (Public Law 90-168) to require annual authorization 
of the personnel strengths of each of the Selected Reserves of 
the Reserve components as a prior condition for the 
appropriation of funds for the pay and allowances for the 
Reserve components;
    In 1969 (Public Law 91-121) to require authorization of 
appropriations for the procurement of other weapons to or for 
the use of any armed force of the United States. (Essentially, 
heavy, medium, and light artillery, anti-aircraft artillery, 
rifles, machine-guns, mortars, small arms weapons, and any 
crew-fired piece using fixed ammunition);
    In 1970 (Public Law 91-441) to require authorization of 
appropriations to or for the use of the Navy for the 
procurement of torpedoes and related support equipment; and to 
require authorization of the average annual active duty 
personnel strength for each component of the Armed Forces as a 
condition precedent to the appropriation of funds for this 
purpose;
    In 1971 (Public Law 92-436) to require annual authorization 
for the average military training student loads for each 
component of the Armed Forces, and modified the provision 
relating to authorization for active duty personnel strength;
    In 1973 (Public Law 93-155) to require authorization for 
end strength civilian employment for each component of the 
Defense Department in each fiscal year;
    In 1975 (Public Law 94-106) to require the annual 
authorization of military construction of ammunition 
facilities;
    In 1980 (Public Law 96-342) to require the annual 
authorization of appropriations of funds for the operation and 
maintenance of any armed force of the activities and agencies 
of the Department of Defense (other than the military 
departments) for fiscal years beginning after September 30, 
1981; and
    In 1982 (Public Law 97-86) to require the annual 
authorization of appropriations of funds for procurement of 
ammunition or other procurement for any armed force or for 
agencies of the Department of Defense (other than military 
departments).
    Also, in 1973 these enactments were codified by section 
803(a) of Public Law 93-155 into title 10, United States Code, 
as section 138. Section 138 was amended on several occasions 
and has been redesignated as section 114 of title 10, United 
States Code. The law today reads as follows:

Sec. 114. Annual authorization of appropriations

    (a) No funds may be appropriated for any fiscal year to or 
for the use of any armed force or obligated or expended for--
          (1) procurement of aircraft, missiles, or naval

        or procurement or production related thereto;
          (3) procurement of tracked combat vehicles;
          (4) procurement of other weapons;
          (5) procurement of naval torpedoes and related

          (9) other procurement by any armed force or by the 
        activities and agencies of the Department of Defense

which section 2353 of this title applies); any activity to 
which section 2807 of this title applies, any activity to which 
chapter 133 of this title applies, and advances to the 
Secretary of Transportation for the construction of defense 
access roads under section 210 of Title 23. Such term does not 
include any activity to which section 2821 or 2854 of this 
title applies.
    (c)(1) The size of the Special Defense Acquisition Fund 
established pursuant to chapter 5 of the Arms Export Control 
Act (22 U.S.C. 2795 et seq.) may not exceed $1,070,000,000.
    (2) Notwithstanding section 37(a) of the Arms Export 
Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2777(a)), amounts received by the United 
States pursuant to subparagraph (A) of section 21(a)(1) of that 
Act (22 U.S.C. 2761(a)(1))--
          (A) shall be credited to the Special Defense

        that Act (22 U.S.C. 2795(b)(1)), but subject to the 
        limitation in paragraph (1) and other applicable law, 
        and
          (B) to the extent not so credited, shall be deposited 
        in the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts as provided 
        in section 3302(b) of Title 31.
    (d) Funds may be appropriated for the Armed Forces for use 
as an emergency fund for research, development, test, and 
evaluation, or related procurement or production only if the

  ACTIVITIES OF THE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE DURING THE 103D CONGRESS 
                            (1993 AND 1994)

    The following review summarize the activities of the 
Committee and Armed Services during the 103d Congress.
National Defense Authorization Act of fiscal year 1994
    On April 1, 1993, the Committee began a lengthy series of 
hearings on the defense budget request for fiscal year 1994 
submitted by President Clinton. Several senior officials in the 
Defense Department, including the Secretary of Defense, the 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the unified and 
specified combatant commanders, the Service Secretaries, and 
the Service Chiefs of Staff, testified before the Committee. 
The review of the President's request continued as the six 
subcommittees held hearings that focused in more detail on 
budget issues in each of their specific jurisdictions. By the 
time the Committee met to markup the defense authorization 
bill, it had held 41 hearings and received testimony from 157 
witnesses.
    On July 27, 1993, after three days of markup sessions, the 
Committee reported to the Senate S. 1298, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994. The original bill 
authorized to total of $262 billion in budget authority for the 
National Defense function of the Federal budget. Responding to 
the need to restructure defense procurement programs in light 
of declining force levels and lower budgets, S. 1298 increased 
funds for readiness and training programs; redirected tactical 
aviation programs; preserved critical defense industrial base 
programs; and strengthened the peacekeeping and peace 
enforcement capabilities of U.S. military forces.
    The Senate began its consideration of S. 1298 on September 
7, 1993, and approved the bill by a vote of 92-7 on September 
14, 1993. During the Senate's 47 hours of debate on S. 1298, 
103 amendments were offered and 16 roll call votes were 
recorded.
    Shortly after the House of Representatives approved its 
version of the defense authorization bill in late September 
1993, conferees from the Senate and House began to discuss the 
thousands of differences between the two bills. On November 10, 
1993, the conferees completed their work, and the conference 
report was filed in the House. The House and Senate passed the 
conference report on November 15 and November 17, respectively, 
and President Clinton signed the bill into law on November 30, 
1993 (Public Law 103-160).
Policy concerning homosexuality in the Armed Forces
    On January 29, 1993 the President directed the Secretary of 
Defense to review the Department's policy concerning 
homosexuality in the armed forces, which required separation on 
the basis of homosexual acts, statements, and marriages. On 
February 4, 1993, the Senate adopted an amendment calling for a 
comprehensive review of the policy, and directing the Committee 
on Armed Services to conduct hearings on this matter. This 
provision was enacted into law as section 601 of the Family and 
Medical Leave act of 1993 (Public Law 103-3).
    From March 29 to July 22, 1993, the Committee conducted 
nine hearings on this subject, which have been published in a 
volume entitled ``Policy Concerning Homosexuality in the Armed 
forces'' (Senate Hearing 103-845). The Committee received 
testimony from a diverse group of experts in law, sociology, 
and military affairs, as well as members of the armed forces 
senior policymakers from the Department of Defense.
    During mark-up of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 1994, the Committee adopted a legislative 
provision concerning homosexuality in the armed forces. This 
provision included detailed findings and procedures, reflecting 
the Committee's finding that ``[t]he presence in the armed 
forces of persons who demonstrate a propensity on intent to 
engage in homosexual acts would create an unacceptable risk to 
the high standards of moral, good order and discipline, and 
unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability.'' 
The Committee's report on the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Senate Report 103-112; July 27, 1993) 
sets forth a detailed legislative history of the this measure. 
The legislative provision recommended by the Committee was 
approved by the Senate, agreed to by the House-Senate 
conference, approved by the House of Representatives and the 
Senate, and signed into law by the President as section 571 of 
the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 1994.
National Defense Authorization Act of fiscal year 1995
    In February 1994, the Committee began its review of the 
President's defense budget request for fiscal year 1995. A 
total of 32 hearings were held in which 132 witnesses appeared 
before the Committee.
    On June 14, 1994, the Committee reported to the Senate S. 
2182, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
1995. The bill authorized a total of approximately $262.3 
billion in budget authority for the National Defense function. 
As reported by the Committee, S. 2182 sought to:
  --maintain the high quality of men and women entering and 
        serving in the armed forces;
  --ensure that the military Services remain ready and capable 
        of carrying out the full range of their assigned 
        missions;
  --continue to provide assistance for personnel, communities, 
        and the industrial base in adjusting to the defense 
        drawdown;
  --ensure that research and development and procurement of 
        weapons systems will support future force structure 
        levels;
  --promote industrial base policies that meet national 
        security needs in the post-Cold War era; and
  --support efforts to reduce infrastructure and increase the 
        efficiency of operations throughout the Defense 
        Department.
    On June 22, 1994, the Senate began consideration of S. 
2182. After 12 roll call votes, the consideration of 114 
amendments, and 59 hours of debate, the Senate passed the bill 
by a voice vote on July 1, 1994.
    During the month of July and the first half of August, 
conferees from the Senate and House worked to resolve the many 
differences between the two versions of the defense 
authorization bill. They completed their deliberations on 
August 12, 1994, when the conference report was filed in the 
House. The House and Senate then passed the conference report 
on August 17 and September 13, respectively, and the President 
signed the bill into law on October 5, 1994 (Public Law 103-
337).

The Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994

    In 1990, the Committee proposed legislation, which was 
enacted as section 800 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 1991, to create an Advisory Panel on 
Streamlining and Codifying the Acquisition Laws, composed of 
distinguished experts from the public and private sectors. The 
Advisory Panel's report, issued in December 1992, recommended a 
comprehensive overhaul of the laws governing the acquisition 
process.
    The Committee received testimony form the Advisory Panel 
March 10, 1993, which is published in a volume entitled 
``Report of the Advisory Panel on Streamlining and Codifying 
the Acquisition Laws'' (Senate Hearing 103-241). On June 28, 
1993, the Committee received testimony on the acquisition 
reform agenda of the Department of Defense, which is published 
in a volume entitled ``Department of Defense Authorization for 
Appropriations for Fiscal Year 1994 and the Future Years 
Defense Program'' (Senate Hearing 103-303, Part 5). In 
addition, the Senate Committees on Armed Services, Governmental 
Affairs, and Small Business organized a bipartisan, tri-
committee effort to review the Section 800 Panel's report and 
related recommendations for acquisition reform. As a result of 
that effort, S. 1587, the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act, 
was introduced on October 26, 1993.
    The Governmental Affairs and Armed Services Committees held 
three joint hearings on S. 1587 in the spring of 1994, in which 
testimony was received from representatives of the 
Administration, the oversight community, and diverse segments 
of the private sector, including major contractors, commercial 
companies, and small businesses. The joint hearings are 
published in a volume entitled ``S. 1587, Federal Acquisition 
Streamlining Act of 1993'' (Senate Hearing 103-849).
    The Governmental Affairs and Armed Services Committees each 
marked up the bill on April 26, 1994. The Governmental Affairs 
Committee reported its bill to the Senate on May 11 (Senate 
Report 103-258), and the Armed Services Committee submitted its 
report on May 12 (Senate Report 103-259).
    The Senate passed S. 1587 on June 8, 1994, and the House 
passed a companion bill on June 27, 1994. A House-Senate 
conference committee reconciled the two bills. The conference 
agreement (House Report 103-712) was approved by the House and 
Senate and was signed into law by the President on October 13, 
1994 (Public Law 103-355).
    The legislation constitutes the most comprehensive revision 
of the federal acquisition laws in the post-World War II era. 
Highlights include: (1) reducing paperwork burdens through 
revision and consolidation of over 225 provisions of law; (2) 
transforming the acquisition system from a cumbersome process 
driven by paperwork to a computer-based system readily 
accessible to government and private sector users, including 
small businesses; (3) establishing a ``simplified acquisition 
threshold'' of $100,000 to streamline the process of making 
small purchases and to reduce the amount of staff time needed 
for such purchases, resulting in substantial savings for the 
government; and (4) facilitating the acquisition of commercial 
end-items and components--including commercial products that 
are modified to meet government needs.

Nominations considered by the Committee

    During the 103rd Congress, the Committee considered 97 
statutory civilian nominations, including the senior leadership 
of the Department of Defense for the new Administration. As in 
previous years, the Committee followed a set of procedures that 
specifies the information and requirements that each nominee 
must fulfill as part of the Committee's conformation process. 
As in the past, careful review of each nominee's FBI background 
report, financial disclosure statement, and general 
qualifications required an enormous amount of the Committee's 
time and effort.
    A total of 73,786 military nominations were considered by 
the Committee during the 103rd Congress, including the Chairman 
and Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; two Service 
Chiefs; several unified, specified, and combatant commanders; 
and thousands of field grade and junior officer positions that 
form the backbone of the officer corps. A number of military 
nominations proved to be controversial, and the Committee 
devoted considerable attention to these matters both in the 
Committee and on the floor of the Senate.

U.S. military operations

    During the 103d Congress, the Committee conducted numerous 
hearings and briefings in both open and closed session on the 
several areas in which U.S. military units were conducting or 
preparing to conduct operations. The situation in the former 
Yugoslavia, particularly Bosnia and Hercegovina, was the focus 
of most of these meetings, accounting for at least part of 10 
separate hearings or briefings. Somalia was also an area of 
focus for the Committee in nine meetings. Other areas which 
were the subject of hearings or briefings were Iraq, Korea, 
Haiti, Cuba, and Rwanda.
    The witnesses for these hearings and briefings included 
U.S. and foreign government officials, both civilian and 
military, and outside experts. In the case of Somalia, Senator 
Levin and Senator Warner reported on their visit to Mogadishu 
and bases in the United States to interview the U.S. forces who 
participated in the actual operations, and testimony was taken 
from the fathers of two servicemen who were killed during a 
military operation in Mogadishu, Somalia.
    The subject matter of the hearings and briefings included 
intelligence assessments, policy decisions, and the conduct of 
combat, combat support, and humanitarian relief operations. 
These meetings helped the Committee to understand the 
complexities of coalition operations and United Nations-led or 
authorized operations and the impact of high operational and 
personnel tempo on U.S. military personnel, equipment, and 
defense budgets.

Events in the former Soviet Union

    Early in the 103d Congress, the Committee conducted in open 
session four hearings on developments in the former Soviet 
Union. The first was a general overview, given by Intelligence 
Community representatives. The second, given by a panel of 
academic specialists, dealt with economic reform in the former 
Soviet Union and U.S. policy options for assisting that reform 
effort. The third hearing covered the status of U.S. Government 
assistance programs in the former Soviet Union. The fourth, 
featuring representatives of the Department of Commerce, the 
Export-Import Bank, and the Overseas Private Investment 
Corporation, dealt with U.S. Government support for private 
U.S. business investment in the former Soviet Union.
    The Committee also instituted an exchange program with the 
defense committees of the Russian parliament during the 103d 
Congress. Chairman Nunn led a bipartisan delegation of seven 
Committee members to Moscow in May 1994 for meetings with the 
Russian Duma (lower house) Defense Committee, led by its 
Chairman, Sergey Yushenkov. In September of 1994, the Committee 
hosted a 10-person Russian parliamentary delegation, which was 
led by Duma Defense Committee Chairman Yushenkov and included 
the Chairman of the Federation Council (upper house) Defense 
Committee, Peter Shirshov, as well as representatives of the 
Duma International Affairs Committee and the Duma 
Interparliamentary Relations Department.

    1. Regular Meeting Day and Time. The regular meeting day of 
the committee shall be each Thursday at 10:00 a.m., unless the 
committee or the chairman directs otherwise.
    2. Additional Meetings. The chairman may call such 
additional meetings as he deems necessary.
    3. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the committee may 
be called by a majority of the members of the committee in 
accordance with paragraph 3 of Rule XXVI of the Standing Rules 
of the Senate.
    4. Open Meetings. Each meeting of the committee, or any 
subcommittee thereof, including meetings to conduct hearings, 
shall be open to the public, except that a meeting or series of 
meetings by the committee or a subcommittee thereof on the same 
subject for a period of no more than fourteen (14) calendar 
days may be closed to the public on a motion made and seconded 
to go into closed session to discuss only whether the matters 
enumerated below in clauses (a) through (f) would require the 
meeting to be closed, followed immediately by a record vote in 
open session by a majority of the members of the committee or 
subcommittee when it is determined that the matters to be 
discussed or the testimony to be taken at such meeting or 
meetings--
          (a) will disclose matters necessary to be kept secret 
        in the interests of national defense or the 
        confidential conduct of the foreign relations of the 
        United States;
          (b) will relate solely to matters of committee staff 
        personnel or internal staff management or procedure;
          (c) will tend to charge an individual with a crime or 
        misconduct, to disgrace or injure the professional 
        standing of an individual, or otherwise to expose an 
        individual to public contempt or obloquy or will 
        represent a clearly unwarranted invasion of the privacy 
        of an individual;
          (d) will disclose the identity of any informer or law 
        enforcement agent or will disclose any information 
        relating to the investigation or prosecution of a 
        criminal offense that is required to be kept secret in 
        the interests of effective law enforcement;
          (e) will disclose information relating to the trade 
        secrets or financial or commercial information 
        pertaining specifically to a given person if--
                  (1) an Act of Congress requires the 
                information to be kept confidential by 
                Government officers and employees; or
                  (2) the information has been obtained by the 
                Government on a confidential basis, other than 
                through an application by such person for a 
                specific Government financial or other benefit, 
                and is required to be kept secret in order to 
                prevent undue injury to the competitive 
                position of such person; or
          (f) may divulge matters required to be kept 
        confidential under other provisions of law or 
        Government regulations.
    5. Presiding Officer. The chairman shall preside at all

are required to be actually present to report a matter or 
measure from the committee.
    (b) Except as provided in subsections (a) and (c), and

committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such 
business as may be considered by the committee.
    (c) Three members of the committee, one of whom shall be a 
member of the minority party, shall constitute a quorum for the 
purpose of taking sworn testimony, unless otherwise ordered by 
a majority of the full committee.
    (d) Proxy votes may not be considered for the purpose of 
establishing a quorum.
    7. Proxy Voting. Proxy voting shall be allowed on all 
measures and matters before the committee. The vote by proxy of 
any member of the committee may be counted for the purpose of 
reporting any measure or matter to the Senate if the absent 
member casting such vote has been informed of the matter on 
which he is being recorded and has affirmatively requested that 
he be so recorded.
    8. Announcement of Votes. The results of all rollcall votes 
taken in any meeting of the committee on any measure, or 
amendment thereto, shall be announced in the committee report, 
unless previously announced by the committee. The announcement 
shall include a tabulation of the votes cast in favor and votes 
cast in opposition to each such measure and amendment by each 
member of the committee who was present at such meeting. The 
chairman may hold open a rollcall vote on any measure or matter 
which is before the committee until no later than midnight of 
the day on which the committee votes on such measure or matter.
    9. Subpoenas. Subpoenas for attendance of witnesses and for 
the production of memoranda, documents, records, and the like 
may be issued by the chairman or any other member designated by 
him, but only when authorized by a majority of the members of 
the committee. The subpoena shall briefly state the matter to 
which the witness is expected to testify or the documents to be 
produced.
    10. Hearings. (a) Public notice shall be given of the date, 
place, and subject matter of any hearing to be held by the 
committee, or any subcommittee thereof, at least 1 week in 
advance of such hearing, unless the committee or subcommittee 
determines that good cause exists for beginning such hearings 
at an earlier time.
    (b) Hearings may be initiated only by the specified 
authorization of the committee or subcommittee.
    (c) Hearings shall be held only in the District of Columbia 
unless specifically authorized to be held elsewhere by a 
majority vote of the committee or subcommittee conducting such 
hearings.
    (d) Witnesses appearing before the committee shall file 
with the clerk of the committee a written statement of his 
proposed testimony at least 24 hours not including weekends or 
holidays prior to a hearing at which he is to appear unless the 
chairman and the ranking minority member determines that there 
is good cause for the failure of the witness to file such a 
statement.
    (e) Confidential testimony taken or confidential material 
presented in a closed hearing of the committee or subcommittee 
or any report of the proceedings of such hearing shall not be 
made public in whole or in part or by way of summary unless 
authorized by a majority vote of the committee or subcommittee.
    (f) Any witness summoned to give testimony or evidence at a 
public or closed hearing of the committee or subcommittee may 
be accompanied by counsel of his own choosing who shall be 
permitted at all times during such hearing to advise such 
witness of his legal rights.
    (g) Witnesses providing unsworn testimony to the committee 
may be given a transcript of such testimony for the purpose of 
making minor grammatical corrections. Such witnesses will not, 
however, be permitted to alter the substance of their 
testimony. Any question involving such corrections shall be 
decided by the chairman.
    11. Nominations. Unless otherwise ordered by the committee, 
nominations referred to the committee shall be held for at 
least seven (7) days before being voted on by the committee. 
Each member of the committee shall be furnished a copy of all 
nominations referred to the committee.
    12. Real Property Transactions. Each member of the 
committee shall be furnished with a copy of the proposals of 
the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, submitted 
pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2662 and with a copy of the proposals of 
the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, 
submitted pursuant to 50 U.S.C. App. 2285, regarding the 
proposed acquisition or disposition of property of an estimated 
price or rental or more than $50,000. Any member of the 
committee objecting to or requesting information on a proposed 
acquisition or disposal shall communicate his objection or 
request to the chairman of the committee within thirty (30) 
days from the date of submission.
    13. Legislative Calendar. (a) The clerk of the committee 
shall keep a printed calendar for the information of each 
committee member showing the bills introduced and referred to 
the committee and the status of such bills. Such calendar shall 
be revised from time to time to show pertinent changes in such 
bills, the current status thereof, and new bills introduced and 
referred to the committee. A copy of each new revision shall be 
furnished to each member of the committee.
    (b) Unless otherwise ordered, measures referred to the 
committee shall be referred by the clerk of the committee to 
the appropriate department or agency of the Government for 
reports thereon.
    14. Except as otherwise specified herein, the Standing 
Rules of the Senate shall govern the actions of the committee. 
Each subcommittee of the committee is part of the committee, 
and is therefore subject to the committee's rules so far as 
applicable.
    15. Powers and Duties of Subcommittees. Each subcommittee 
is authorized to meet, hold hearings, receive evidence, and 
report to the full committee on all matters referred to it. 
Subcommittee chairmen shall set dates for hearings and meetings 
of their respective subcommittees after consultation with the 
chairman and other subcommittee chairmen with a view toward 
avoiding simultaneous scheduling of full committee and 
subcommittee meetings or hearings whenever possible.
