Prohibits the expenditure of funds for payments under a cost-plus-a-fixed-fee contract for work, except as specified. Makes previously appropriated funds available for: (1) the hire of passenger motor vehicles; and (2) advances to the Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation, for the construction of access roads. Prohibits the expenditure of funds for: (1) new base construction for which specific appropriations have not been made; (2) the purchase of certain land or easements, with specified exceptions; (3) family housing, except that housing specified in annual military construction appropriation Acts; (4) the relocation of activities from one base or installation to another; (5) steel procurement for which American steel producers have been denied the opportunity to compete for such procurement; (6) dredging in the Indian Ocean by foreign contractors, except as specified; (7) the payment of real property taxes in any foreign nation; and (8) compensation to non-lawfully-admitted aliens of the United States. Limits the expenditure of appropriations for consulting services. Prohibits the use of funds for: (1) the sale, lease, or rental of any part of Fort DeRussy, Honolulu, Hawaii; (2) the initiation of a new installation overseas without the prior approval of the Appropriations Committees; (3) F-16 beddown projects at Misawa, Japan, until the Appropriations Committees determine that the Japanese budget has increased funding for FY 1986 for such projects; (4) certain architect and engineer contracts to be accomplished in Japan or any NATO member country, unless such contracts are awarded to U.S. firms or U.S. firms in joint venture with host nation firms; and (5) certain military construction projects in the U.S. territories and possessions in the Pacific and on Kwajalein Island to be performed by foreign contractors, unless the lowest bid from a U.S. contractor for such work exceeds the lowest foreign-contractor bid by more than 20 percent.
