Ante, p. 596.

PUBLIC LAW 99-145—NOV. 8, 1985 this title until the Secretary submits to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives a report describing the programs in which such reductions will be made in accordance with section 107 and the programs that are the source of the funds transferred under this title. SEC. 110. IMPROVEMENT IN CONVENTIONAL READINESS CAPABILITY

(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that the United States should place greater emphasis on the improvement of the capabilities of United States conventional forces, particularly in cooperation with other member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and that such an improvement would reduce the threat of nuclear war. (b) INCREASED AUTHORIZATIONS FOR CONVENTIONAL CAPABILITY.—

Accordingly, authorizations of appropriations for programs to improve the conventional readiness capabilities of the Armed Forces in addition to the amounts requested in the President's budget for fiscal year 1986 have been included in the appropriate provisions of this Act, and similar emphasis on conventional defense capabilities is to be expected in future legislation authorizing appropriations for the Department of Defense.
