Specifies the authorized average military training student loads for the Coast Guard for FY 1987 and 1988. Authorizes the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating (the Secretary) to transfer up to ten percent of appropriations among categories. Requires the Secretary to give the chairmen of the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation 15 days notice of any proposed transfer. Directs the Secretary to identify those activities that are necessary to maintain the logistics capability of the Coast Guard. Requires the Secretary, no later than January 31, 1987, to provide a list of such activities to the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries and the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committees. Provides that such activities may not be contracted for performance by non-government personnel, except in specified circumstances. Requires the Secretary, before the beginning of FY 1987 and 1988, to submit to the above committees a list of activities that are to be contracted for performance by non-government personnel during that fiscal year. Prohibits any Coast Guard vessel or major component of such vessel from being constructed in a foreign shipyard, unless the President makes authorized exceptions based on national security. Requires the President to notify the Congress of any such exception, and requires 30 days to pass after such notice before any contract for foreign construction may be entered into. Revises provisions concerning the Coast Guard Auxiliary to authorize the Secretary to pay interest on a claim of the Auxiliary in certain instances. Directs the Commandant of the Coast Guard to make full use of available and qualified members of the Auxiliary in rendering assistance to distressed persons, vessels, and aircraft. Revises provisions concerning the towing of vessels to require the operators of such vessels to have a license to operate a towing vessel. Directs the Secretary to retain a specified amount of the amount appropriated each year for State recreational boating safety programs for the administrative costs of such programs. Exempts Coast Guard contracts of less than $25,000 from specified Federal publication and notification requirements. Provides that whenever a vessel is forfeited to the United States, such vessel may be transferred to an educational institution with a commercial fishing program that includes certain approved courses in vessel safety and seamanship. Prohibits any Coast Guard training or instruction to employees of the government or members of the armed services of the Republic of South Africa during FY 1987 and 1988. Directs the Secretary to provide detailed reports to the Congress concerning the status of design and construction plans for the procurement of at least two new polar icebreaking vessels.
