An original bill to authorize the Secretary of Defense to transfer between accounts a limited amount of funds appropriated for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1989.

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 that are 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: (1) ensure that an appropriate portion of such authority is used to transfer to operation and maintenance accounts of DOD for FY 1988 funds for depot maintenance activities sufficient to reduce service backlogs and funds for pay of civilian personnel of DOD in an amount sufficient to ensure that no such employees are released due to insufficient funding; (2) give special consideration and priority to DOD civilian employees, defense readiness, and more efficient acquisition processes; and (3) provide funds for other high-priority readiness items.
