Sec. 2350f. Procurement of communications support and related 
        supplies and services
        
    (a) As an alternative means of obtaining communications support and 
related supplies and services, the Secretary of Defense, subject to the 
approval of the Secretary of State, may enter into a bilateral 
arrangement with any allied country or allied international organization 
or may enter into a multilateral arrangement with allied countries and 
allied international organizations, under which, in return for being 
provided communications support and related supplies and services, the 
United States would agree to provide to the allied country or countries 
or allied international organization or allied international 
organizations, as the case may be, an equivalent value of communications 
support and related supplies and services. The term of an arrangement 
entered into under this subsection may not exceed five years.
    (b)(1) Any arrangement entered into under this section shall require 
that any accrued credits and liabilities resulting from an unequal 
exchange of communications support and related supplies and services 
during the term of such arrangement would be liquidated by direct 
payment to the party having provided the greater amount of 
communications support and related supplies and services. Liquidations 
may be made at such times as the parties in an arrangement may agree 
upon, but in no case may final liquidation in the case of an arrangement 
be made later than 30 days after the end of the term for which the 
arrangement was entered into.
    (2) Parties to an arrangement entered into under this section shall 
annually reconcile accrued credits and liabilities accruing under such 
agreement. Any liability of the United States resulting from a 
reconciliation shall be charged against the applicable appropriation 
available to the Department of Defense (at the time of the 
reconciliation) for obligation for communications support and related 
supplies and services.
    (3) Payments received by the United States shall be credited to the 
appropriation from which such communications support and related 
supplies and services have been provided.
    (c) The Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committee on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of the House 
of Representatives copies of all documents evidencing an arrangement 
entered into under subsection (a) not later than 45 days after entering 
into such an arrangement.
    (d) In this section:
        (1) The term ``allied country'' means--
            (A) a country that is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty 
        Organization;
            (B) Australia, New Zealand, Japan, or the Republic of Korea; 
        or
            (C) any other country designated as an allied country for 
        purposes of this section by the Secretary of Defense with the 
        concurrence of the Secretary of State.

        (2) The term ``allied international organization'' means the 
    North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or any other international 
    organization designated as an allied international organization for 
    the purposes of this section by the Secretary of Defense with the 
    concurrence of the Secretary of State.
