Specifies restrictions and authorizations regarding the use of funds appropriated in this Act and in other military construction appropriations Acts. Directs the Secretary of Defense to notify the appropriate congressional committees 30 days in advance of the plans and scope of any military exercise involving U.S. personnel if construction costs are anticipated to exceed $100,000. Provides for the transfer of lapsed unobligated military construction and family housing funds into the Foreign Currency Fluctuations, Defense account. Directs the Secretary to report to the congressional appropriations committees on actions proposed by DOD to encourage other member nations of NATO, Japan, Korea, and other U.S. allies in the Arabian Gulf to assume a greater share of the common defense burden of such nations and the United States. Prohibits this Act's funds from being obligated for Partnership for Peace programs in the new independent states of the former Soviet Union. Requires a specified certification from the Secretary prior to the obligation of funds for projects at Camp Humphreys in the Republic of Korea.
