Sec. 5855. Limitations on defense conversion authorities
Notwithstanding any other provision of law (including any other
provision of this Act), funds may not be obligated in any fiscal year
for purposes of facilitating the conversion of military technologies and
capabilities and defense industries of the former Soviet Union into
civilian activities, as authorized by sections 5853(a)(6) and 5854(a)(6)
of this title or any other provision of law, unless the President has
previously obligated in the same fiscal year an amount equal to or
greater than that amount of funds for defense conversion and defense
transition activities in the United States. For purposes of this
section, the term ``defense conversion and defense transition activities
in the United States'' means those United States Government funded
programs whose primary purpose is to assist United States private sector
defense workers, United States companies that manufacture or otherwise
provide defense goods or services, or United States communities
adversely affected by reductions in United States defense spending, such
as programs funded through the Office of Economic Adjustment in the
Department of Defense or through the Economic Development
Administration.
