ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
Of the budgetary resources available to the National Aero-
nautics and Space Administration during fiscal year 1995,
$59,003,000 are permanently canceled. The Administrator of the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall allocate the
amount of budgetary resources canceled among the agency’s
accounts available for procurement and procurement-related
expenses. Amounts available for procurement and procurement-
related expenses in each such account shall be reduced by the
amount allocated to such account. For the purposes of this para-
graph, the definition of ‘‘procurement’’ includes all stages of the
process of acquiring property or services, beginning with the process
of determining a need for a product or service and ending with
contract completion and closeout, as specified in 41 U.S.C. 403(2).
Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of funds
appropriated for ‘‘Human space flight’’, ‘‘Science, aeronautics and
technology’’, or ‘‘Mission support’’ by this appropriations Act, when
any activity has been initiated by the incurrence of obligations
for construction of facilities as authorized by law, the amount avail-
H. R. 4624—31
able for such activity shall remain available until expended. This
provision does not apply to the amounts appropriated in ‘‘Mission
support’’ pursuant to the authorization for repair, rehabilitation
and modification of facilities, minor construction of new facilities
and additions to existing facilities, and facility planning and design.
Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of funds
appropriated for ‘‘Human space flight’’, ‘‘Science, aeronautics and
technology’’, or ‘‘Mission support’’ by this appropriations Act, the
amounts appropriated for construction of facilities shall remain
available until September 30, 1997.
Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of funds
appropriated for ‘‘Mission support’’, amounts made available by
this Act for personnel and related costs and travel expenses of
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall remain
available until September 30, 1995 and may be used to enter
into contracts for training, investigations, cost associated with
personnel relocation, and for other services, to be provided during
the next fiscal year.
No amount appropriated pursuant to this or any other Act
may be used for the lease or construction of a new contractor-
funded facility for exclusive use in support of a contract or contracts
with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under
which the Administration would be required to substantially amor-
tize through payment or reimbursement such contractor investment,
unless an appropriations Act specifies the lease or contract pursuant
to which such facilities are to be constructed or leased or such
facility is otherwise identified in such Act. The Administrator may
authorize such facility lease or construction, if he determines, in
consultation with the Committees on Appropriations, that deferral
of such action until the enactment of the next appropriations Act
would be inconsistent with the interest of the Nation in aeronautical
and space activities.
The unexpired balances of prior appropriations to NASA for
activities for which funds are provided under this Act may be
transferred to the new account established for the appropriation
that provides funds for such activity under this Act. Balances so
transferred may be merged with funds in the newly established
account and thereafter may be accounted for as one fund to be
available for the same purposes and under the same terms and
conditions.
The fourth proviso in the paragraph under the heading
‘‘Science, space, and technology education trust fund’’ in the Depart-
ment of Housing and Urban Development—Independent Agencies
Appropriations Act, 1989 (Public Law 101–404, 102 Stat. 1014,
1028) is amended by striking out ‘‘for a ten-year period’’ and insert-
ing in lieu thereof ‘‘hereafter’’.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law or regulation, the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall convey, with-
out reimbursement, to the City of Slidell, Louisiana, all rights,
title, and interest of the United States in the property, including
all improvements thereon, known as the Slidell Computer Complex,
and consisting of approximately 14 acres in the City of Slidell,
St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana: Provided, That appropriated funds
may be used to effect this conveyance: Provided further, That in
consideration of this conveyance, the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration may require such other terms and conditions

of the United States.

ties, all amounts, including floors and ceilings, specified in the
authorizing Act for those program activities or their subactivities
shall be reduced proportionally: Provided further, That amounts
appropriated in prior fiscal years for the United States Polar
Research Programs, the United States Antarctic Logistical Support
Activities, and the Critical Technologies Institute shall be trans-
ferred to and merged with this appropriation and remain available
until expended.
