    (a) Exchange Program Authorized.--The Secretary of the Navy may 
permit a student enrolled at a military academy of a foreign country to 
receive instruction at the Naval Academy in exchange for a midshipman 
receiving instruction at that foreign military academy pursuant to an 
exchange agreement entered into between the Secretary and appropriate 
officials of the foreign country. Students receiving instruction at the 
Academy under the exchange program shall be in addition to persons 
receiving instruction at the Academy under section 6957 of this title.
    (b) Limitations on Number and Duration of Exchanges.--An exchange 
agreement under this section between the Secretary and a foreign country 
shall provide for the exchange of students on a one-for-one basis each 
fiscal year. Not more than 24 midshipmen and a comparable number of 
students from all foreign military academies participating in the 
exchange program may be exchanged during any fiscal year. The duration 
of an exchange may not exceed the equivalent of one academic semester at 
the Naval Academy.
    (c) Costs and Expenses.--(1) A student from a military academy of a 
foreign country is not entitled to the pay, allowances, and emoluments 
of a midshipman by reason of attendance at the Naval Academy under the 
exchange program, and the Department of Defense may not incur any cost 
of international travel required for transportation of such a student to 
and from the sponsoring foreign country.
    (2) The Secretary may provide a student from a foreign country under 
the exchange program, during the period of the exchange, with 
subsistence, transportation within the continental United States, 
clothing, health care, and other services to the same extent that the 
foreign country provides comparable support and services to the 
exchanged midshipman in that foreign country.
    (3) The Naval Academy shall bear all costs of the exchange program 
from funds appropriated for the Academy. Expenditures in support of the 
exchange program may not exceed $120,000 during any fiscal year.
