Sec. 2203. Budget estimates

    To account for, and report, the cost of performance of readily 
identifiable functional programs and activities, with segregation of 
operating and capital programs, budget estimates of the Department of 
Defense shall be prepared, presented, and justified, where practicable, 
and authorized programs shall be administered, in such form and manner 
as the Secretary of Defense, subject to the authority and direction of 
the President, may prescribe. As far as practicable, budget estimates 
and authorized programs of the military departments shall be uniform and 
in readily comparable form. The budget for the Department of Defense 
submitted to Congress for each fiscal year shall include data projecting 
the effect of the appropriations requested for materiel readiness 
requirements. The Secretary of Defense shall provide that the budget 
justification documents for such budget include information on the 
number of employees of contractors estimated to be working on contracts 
of the Department of Defense during the fiscal year for which the budget 
is submitted. Such information shall be set forth in terms of employee-
years or such other measure as will be uniform and readily comparable 
with civilian personnel of the Department of Defense.
