sistent with the national security objectives of the United
States.
(2) The Secretary of Defense may allow a contractor
of a contract or subcontract covered by this section to
make an exception to the requirement of subsection (b)(1)

program under this subsection and of providing
technical assistance to public water systems within
the State. For fiscal year 1994, each State may use
up to 2 percent of the grants in any such revolving
fund for public water system supervision if the State
matches such expenditures with at least an equal
amount of non-Federal funds (additional to the
amount expended by the State for public water su-
pervision in fiscal year 1993). An additional 1 per-

better educated, informed Americans.
