Report to congressional committees. 10 USC 133 note.

SEC. 812. The Secretary of Defense, after consultation with the Secretary of State, shall prepare and submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a written annual report on the foreign policy and military force structure of the United States for the next fiscal year, how such policy and force structure relate to each other, and the justification for each. Such report shall be submitted not later than January 31 of each year. SEC. 81O. In the case of any letter of offer to sell or any proposal to transfer defense articles which are valued at $25,000,000 or more from the United States active forces' inventories, the Secretary of Defense shall submit a report to the Congress setting forth— (1) the impact of such sales or transfers on the current readiness of United States forces; and (2) the adequacy of reimbursements to cover, at the time of replenishment to United States' inventories, the full replacement costs of those items sold or transferred. SEC. 814. (a) It is the sense of the Congress that equipment, procedures, ammunition, fuel and other military impedimenta for land, air and naval forces of the United States stationed in Europe under the terms of the North Atlantic Treaty should be standardized or made interoperable with that of other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to the maximum extent feasible. In carrying out such policy the Secretary of Defense shall, to the maximum feasible extent, initiate and carry out procurement procedures that provide for the acquisition of equipment which is standardized or interoperable with equipment of other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization whenever such equipment is designed primarily to be used by personnel of the Armed Forces of the United States stationed in Europe under the terms of the North Atlantic Treaty. (b) The report required under section 302(c) of Public Law 93-365 shall include a listing of the initiation of procurement action on any new major system not in compliance with the policy set forth in section (a). (c) Section 302(c) of Public Law 93-365 is amended by deleting the last two sentences and inserting in lieu thereof the following: "The Secretary of Defense shall report annually, not later than January 31 of each year, to the Congress on the specific assessments and evaluations made under the above provisions as well as the results achieved with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies.". SEC. 815. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the authority provided in section 501 of Public Law 91-441 (84 Stat. 909) is hereby extended until June 30, 1977; but no transfer of aircraft or other equipment may be made under the authority of such section 501 unless funds have been previously appropriated for such transfer. SEC. 816. (a) The Armed Forces of the United States operate worldwide in maintaining international peace and in protecting the interests of the United States. It is essential to the effective operation of the Armed Forces that they receive adequate supplies of petroleum products. Citizens and nationals of the United States and corporations organized or ope'-ating within the United States enjoy the benefits of the United States flag and the protection of the Armed Forces and owe allegiance to the United States. It is the purpose of this section to provide a remedy for discrimination by citizens or nationals of the United States or corporations organized or operating within the United States, and by organizations controlled by them, against the Department of Defense in the supply of petroleum products.
