Sec. 123. Authority to suspend officer personnel laws during war or

national emergency

-STATUTE-

(a) In time of war, or of national emergency declared by Congress

or the President after November 30, 1980, the President may suspend

the operation of any provision of law relating to the promotion,

involuntary retirement, or separation of commissioned officers of

the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard Reserve. So

long as such war or national emergency continues, any such

suspension may be extended by the President.

(b) Any such suspension shall, if not sooner ended, end on the

last day of the two-year period beginning on the date on which the

suspension (or the last extension thereof) takes effect or on the

last day of the one-year period beginning on the date of the

termination of the war or national emergency, whichever occurs

first. With respect to the end of any such suspension, the

preceding sentence supersedes the provisions of title II of the

National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1621-1622) which provide that

powers or authorities exercised by reason of a national emergency

shall cease to be exercised after the date of the termination of

the emergency.

officers is suspended under this section and if the Secretary of

Defense submits to Congress proposed legislation to adjust the

grades and dates of rank of reserve commissioned officers other

than commissioned warrant officers, such proposed legislation

shall, so far as practicable, be the same as that recommended for

adjusting the grades and dates of rank of officers of the regular

component of the armed force concerned.

(d) Upon the termination of a suspension made under the authority

of subsection (a) of a provision of law otherwise requiring the

separation or retirement of officers on active duty because of age,

length of service or length of service in grade, or failure of

selection for promotion, the Secretary concerned shall extend by up

to 90 days the otherwise required separation or retirement date of

any officer covered by the suspended provision whose separation or

retirement date, but for the suspension, would have been before the

date of the termination of the suspension or within 90 days after

the date of such termination.

Defense in the performance of its mission under section 124(a) of

title 10, United States Code, as lead agency of the Federal

Government for the detection and monitoring of the transit of

illegal drugs into the United States. Such requirements shall be

designed -

''(1) to minimize unnecessary redundancy between counter-drug

detection and monitoring systems;

Department of Defense that are already in existence or that would

require little additional development to be available for use in

the performance of such mission;

''(3) to promote commonality and interoperability between

counter-drug detection and monitoring systems in a cost-effective

manner; and

''(4) to maximize the potential of using counter-drug detection

and monitoring systems for other defense missions whenever

practicable.

''(b) Evaluation of Systems. - The Secretary of Defense shall

identify and evaluate existing and proposed counter-drug detection

and monitoring systems in light of the requirements established

under subsection (a). In carrying out such evaluation, the

counter-drug detection and monitoring systems; and

''(2) determine the optimal and most cost-effective combination

of use of counter-drug detection and monitoring systems to carry

out activities relating to the reconnaissance, detection, and

monitoring of drug traffic.

''(c) Systems Plan. - Based on the results of the evaluation

under subsection (b), the Secretary of Defense shall prepare a plan

for the development, acquisition, and use of improved counter-drug

detection and monitoring systems by the Armed Forces. In developing

the plan, the Secretary shall also make every effort to determine

which counter-drug detection and monitoring systems should be

eliminated from the counter-drug program based on the results of

such evaluation. The plan shall include an estimate by the

Secretary of the full cost to implement the plan, including the

cost to develop, procure, operate, and maintain equipment used in

counter-drug detection and monitoring activities performed under

the plan and training and personnel costs associated with such

activities.

''(d) Report. - Not later than six months after the date of the

enactment of this Act (Oct. 23, 1992), the Secretary of Defense

shall submit to Congress a report on the requirements established

under subsection (a) and the results of the evaluation conducted

under subsection (b). The report shall include the plan prepared

under subsection (c).

in paragraph (2), none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made

available for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1993

pursuant to an authorization of appropriations in this Act (see

Tables for classification) may be obligated or expended for the

procurement or upgrading of a counter-drug detection and monitoring

system, for research and development with respect to such a system,

or for the lease or rental of such a system until after the date on

which the Secretary of Defense submits to Congress the report

required under subsection (d).

''(2) Paragraph (1) shall not prohibit obligations or

expenditures of funds for -

''(A) any procurement, upgrading, research and development, or

lease of a counter-drug detection and monitoring system that is

necessary to carry out the evaluation required under subsection

(b); or

lead agency of the Federal Government for the detection and

monitoring of the aerial and maritime transit of illegal drugs

into the United States; and

''(2) to provide support to law enforcement agencies in the

detection, monitoring, and communication of the movement of

traffic at, near, and outside the geographic boundaries of the

United States.''

areas for the purpose of enhancing interdiction and deterrence of

drug smuggling.

''(c) Drug-Interdiction Areas Defined. - For purposes of this

section, the term 'drug-interdiction areas' includes land and sea

areas in which, as determined by the Secretary, the smuggling of

drugs into the United States occurs or is believed by the Secretary

fund) shall be recorded as an expense attributable to the operation

as being for operating forces, or (B) an account (known as a budget

activity 2 account) that is specified as being for mobilization.

(4) The authority provided by this subsection is in addition to

any other authority provided by law authorizing the transfer of

amounts available to the Department of Defense. However, the

Secretary may not use any such authority under another provision of

law for a purpose described in paragraph (1) if there is authority

available under this subsection for that purpose.

(5) The authority provided by this subsection to transfer amounts

may not be used to provide authority for an activity that has been

denied authorization by Congress.

(6) A transfer made from one account to another under the

authority of this subsection shall be deemed to increase the amount

authorized for the account to which the amount is transferred by an

amount equal to the amount transferred.

after the Secretary of Defense identifies an operation pursuant to

subsection (a)(2), the Secretary of Defense shall submit to

Congress a report that sets forth the following:

specific discussion of how the Secretary proposes to restore

not reimbursed due to subsection (b).

(2) The Secretary may not restore balances in the Defense

Business Operations Fund or any other fund or account through the

use of unobligated amounts in an operation and maintenance

appropriation that are available within that appropriation for (A)

an account (known as a budget activity 1 account) that is specified

as being for operating forces, or (B) an account (known as a budget

activity 2 account) that is specified as being for mobilization.

enactment of supplemental appropriations for the then-current

fiscal year in order to provide funds to replenish the Defense

Business Operations Fund or any other fund or account of the

Department of Defense from which funds for the incremental expenses

of that operation were derived under this section and should, as

necessary, submit subsequent requests for the enactment of such

appropriations.

incremental costs of the Department of Defense with respect to an

operation are the costs of the Department that are directly

attributable to the operation (and would not have been incurred but

property or services acquired by the Department that are paid for

by a source outside the Department or out of funds contributed by

such a source.

(h) Relationship to War Powers Resolution. - This section may not

be construed as altering or superseding the War Powers Resolution.

operation.
