A bill to increase the dollar amount of defense authorizations for fiscal year 1988 that are subject to transfer for new purposes pursuant to law, and for other purposes.

Summary

Amends the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989 to increase the amount of Department of Defense (DOD) authorizations for FY 1988 subject to transfer from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000. Requires the Secretary of Defense, in determining the purposes for which such transfer authority will be used, to ensure that an appropriate portion of such authority is used to transfer to operation and maintenance accounts of DOD for FY 1988 funds for: (1) depot maintenance activities sufficient to reduce service backlogs; and (2) pay of civilian personnel in an amount sufficient to ensure that no such employees are released due to insufficient funding. Directs the Secretary to notify the Congress at least 15 days before any such fund transfer is made. Directs the Secretary to carry out such transfers in a manner which does not result in an increase in outlays by DOD during FY 1988. Requires the Secretary to submit to specified congressional committees, at the close of each month during FY 1988, any increase or decrease in DOD outlays during that month resulting from the exercise of the transfer authority.
