Sec. 2410h. Acquisition fellowship program

    (a) Establishment.--The Secretary of Defense shall establish and

    (b) Number of Fellowships.--The Secretary of Defense may designate 
up to 25 prospective employees of the Department of Defense as 
acquisition fellows.

    as an employee in an acquisition position in the Department of 
    Defense; and
        (2) must be serving in an acquisition position in the Department 
    of Defense that involves the performance of duties likely to result 
    in significant restrictions under law on the employment activities 
    of that employee after leaving Government service.

    (d) Two-Year Period of Research and Teaching.--Under the fellowship 
program, the Secretary of Defense shall pay designated acquisition

professional education of the Federal Government, or a nonprofit

research or teaching.
