Sec. 2214. Transfer of funds: procedure and limitations

    (a) Procedure for Transfer of Funds.--Whenever authority is provided 
in an appropriation Act to transfer amounts in working capital funds or 
to transfer amounts provided in appropriation Acts for military 
functions of the Department of Defense (other than military 
construction) between such funds or appropriations (or any subdivision 
thereof), amounts transferred under such authority shall be merged with 
and be available for the same purposes and for the same time period as 
the fund or appropriations to which transferred.
    (b) Limitations on Programs for Which Authority May Be Used.--Such 
authority to transfer amounts--
        (1) may not be used except to provide funds for a higher 
    priority item, based on unforeseen military requirements, than the 
    items for which the funds were originally appropriated; and
        (2) may not be used if the item to which the funds would be 
    transferred is an item for which Congress has denied funds.

    (c) Notice to Congress.--The Secretary of Defense shall promptly 
notify the Congress of each transfer made under such authority to 
transfer amounts.
    (d) Limitations on Requests to Congress for Reprogrammings.--Neither 
the Secretary of Defense nor the Secretary of a military department may 
prepare or present to the Congress, or to any committee of either House 
of the Congress, a request with respect to a reprogramming of funds--
        (1) unless the funds to be transferred are to be used for a 
    higher priority item, based on unforeseen military requirements, 
    than the item for which the funds were originally appropriated; or
        (2) if the request would be for authority to reprogram amounts 
    to an item for which the Congress has denied funds.
