SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Subsection (a) of 10 U.S.C. 2534
provides that the Secretary of Defense
may procure the items listed in that
subsection only if the manufacturer of
the item is part of the national
technology and industrial base.
Subsection (i) of 10 U.S.C. 2534
authorizes the Secretary of Defense to
exercise the waiver authority in

applicability of paragraph (2) or (3) of
that subsection, only if the waiver is
made for a particular item listed in
subsection (a) and for a particular

authorizes a waiver if the Secretary
determines that application of the
limitation ‘‘would impede the reciprocal
procurement of defense items under a
memorandum of understanding

against defense items produced in the
United States to a greater degree than

(Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics)
has determined that application of the

is waiving the limitation in 10 U.S.C.
2534(a) for procurements of any defense

the period from July 26, 2006, to July 25,
2007, if the option prices are adjusted
