[88 STAT.

"(b) Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary concerned, or his designee, may terminate, at any time, an officer's entitlement to the special pay authorized by this section. In that event, the officer is entitled to be paid only for the fractional part of the period of active duty that he served, and he may be required to refund any amount he received in excess of that entitlement. "(c) Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense or by the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, as appropriate, an officer who has received payment under this section and who voluntarily, or because of his misconduct, fails to complete the total number of years of active duty specified in the written agreement shall be required to refund the amount received that exceeds his entitlement under those regulations. If an officer has received less incentive pay than he is entitled to under those regulations at the time of his separation from active duty, he shall be entitled to receive the additional amount due him. " (d) This section does not alter or modify any other service obligation of an officer. Completion of the agreed period of active duty, or other termination of an agreement, under this section does not entitle an officer to be separated from the service, if he has any other service obligation. " (e) The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare shall each submit a written report each year to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives regarding the operation of the special pay program authorized by this section. The report shall be on a fiscal year basis and shall contain— "(1) a review of the program for the fiscal year in which the report is submitted; and "(2) the plan for the program for the succeeding fiscal year. This report shall be submitted not later than April 30 of each year, beginning in 1975.". SEC. 2.
