An original bill to make supplemental authorizations for appropriations for fiscal year 1988 for the Department of Defense, and for other purposes.

Summary

Authorizes the obligation of specified funds previously appropriated but not authorized for FY 1988 for programs, projects, and activities of the Department of Defense (DOD). Prohibits such amounts from being obligated or expended for the following programs, projects, or activities of DOD (for which amounts that were provided in FY 1988 defense appropriations in excess of authorizations): (1) Maxicube cargo system under research, development, test, and evaluation for the Army; (2) Coastal Defense Augmentation; (3) AN/SQR-17 Acoustic Processors for the Mobile In-Shore Undersea Warfare Group; and (4) P-3C aircraft under procurement of National Guard and Reserve equipment. Prohibits Army procurement funds from being obligated or expended for a certain air defense system unless the Secretary of Defense certifies to the Congress that the system has met or exceeded full system requirements. Prohibits Navy aircraft procurement funds from being obligated or expended for procurement of any A-6 aircraft configured in the F-model configuration. Permits the use of specified funds appropriated for the modification of M60 tanks for procurement or modification of M1 tanks. Provides that limitations and requirements set forth in the Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1988 shall apply to the obligation of funds authorized by this Act. Provides the transfer authority for such funds under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989. Deems a specified amount of authorizations under this Act to be authorized to the Army, Navy, and Air Force to prevent the furlough separation of civilian employees and to fund other high-priority readiness programs. Repeals specified provisions of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 1988 which: (1) authorized the Navy to construct and charter up to six new tankers to replace the SEALIFT-class tankers now in service; and (2) prohibited funds from being used to enter into any contract for the overhaul, repair, or maintenance of any naval vessel on the west coast of the United States which includes interport differential charges as an evaluation factor in the awarding of defense contracts.
