Sec. 7231. Accounting for expenditures for obtaining information

    When the Secretary of the Navy decides that an expenditure by the 
Department of the Navy from an appropriation for obtaining information 
from anywhere in the world may be made public, the expenditure shall be 
accounted for specifically. When the Secretary decides that an 
expenditure should not be made public, the Secretary shall make a 
certificate on the amount of the expenditure. The certificate is a 
sufficient voucher for the amount stated to have been spent.

    The words ``anywhere in the world'' are substituted for ``abroad and 
at home'', and the words ``decides that an expenditure should not be 
made public'' are substituted for ``may think it advisable not to 
specify'', for clarity and consistency.
