-STATUTE-

(a) Only vessels of the United States or belonging to the United

States may be used in the transportation by sea of supplies bought

for the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps. However, if the

President finds that the freight charged by those vessels is

excessive or otherwise unreasonable, contracts for transportation

than the charges made for transporting like goods for private

persons.

contract for the use of a vessel for the transportation of supplies

under this section, the Secretary of Defense shall require that any

reflagging or repair work on a vessel for which a proposal is

submitted in response to the request for proposals be performed in

the United States (including any territory of the United States).

(2) In paragraph (1), the term ''reflagging or repair work''

means work performed on a vessel -

(A) to enable the vessel to meet applicable standards to become

a vessel of the United States; or

(B) to convert the vessel to a more useful military

configuration.

(3) The Secretary of Defense may waive the requirement described

in paragraph (1) if the Secretary determines that such waiver is

critical to the national security of the United States. The

Secretary shall immediately notify the Congress of any such waiver

and the reasons for such waiver.
