GENERAL PROVISIONS 
SEC. 601. The Secretary of each military department may proceed 
to establish or develop installations and facilities under this Act 
without regard to section 3648 of the Revised Statutes, as amended 
(31 U.S.C. 529) and sections 4774(d) and 9774(d) of title 10, United 
States Code. The authority to place permanent or temporary 
improvements on land includes authority for surveys, administration, 
overhead, planning, and supervision incident to construction. That 
authority may be exercised before title to the land is approved under 
section 355 of the Revised Statutes, as amended (40 U.S.C. 255), and 
even though the land is held temporarily. The authority to acquire 
real estate or land includes authority to make surveys and to acquire 
land, and interests in land (including temporary use), by gift, pur-
chase, exchange of Government-owned land, or otherwise. 
SEC. 602. There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as 
may be necessary for the purposes of this Act, but appropriations for 
public works projects authorized by titles I, II, III, IV, and V, shall 
not oxcc^Cfi 
(1) for title I : Inside the United States $179,717,000; outside 
the United States, $83,197,000; section 102, $2,000,000; or a total 
of $264,914,000. 
(2) for title I I : Inside the United States, $245,930,000; out-
side the United States, $21,994,000; section 202, $974,000; or a 
total of $268,898,000. 
(3) for title I I I : Inside the United States, $191,937,000; out-
side the United States, $30,460,000; section 302, $33,792,000; or

SEC. 603. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), any of the 
amounts specified in titles I, II, III, and IV of this Act, may, in the 
discretion of the Secretary concerned, be increased by 5 per centum 
when inside the United States (other than Hawaii and Alaska), and 
by 10 per centum when outside the United States or in Hawaii and 
Alaska, if he determines that such increase (1) is required for the 
sole purpose of meeting unusual variations in cost, and (2) could not 
have been reasonably anticipated at the time such estimate was sub-
mitted to the Congress. However, the total cost of all construction 
and acquisition in each such title may not exceed the total amount 
authorized to be appropriated in that title. 
(b) When the amount named for any construction or acquisition in 
title I, II, III, or IV of this Act involves only one project at any 
military installation and the Secretary of Defense, or his designee, 
determines that the amount authorized must be increased by more 
than the applicable percentage prescribed in subsection (a), the Secre-

(c) Subject to the limitations contained in subsection (a), no 
individual project authorized under title I, II, III, or IV of this Act

(1) the estimated cost of such project is $250,000 or more, and 
(2) the current working estimate of the Department of Defense, 
based on bids received, for the construction of such project exceeds 
by more than 25 per centum the amount authorized for such 
project by the Congress, until after the expiration of thirty days 
from the date on which a w^ritten report of the facts relating to 
the increased cost of such project, including a statement of the 
reasons for such increase has been submitted to the Committees 
on Armed Services of the House of Representatives and the 
Senate. 
(d) The Secretary of Defense shall submit an annual report to the 
Congress identifying each individual project which has been placed 
under contract in the preceding twelve-month period and with respect 
to which the then current working estimate of the Department of 
Defense based upon bids received for such project exceeded the amount 
authorized by the Congress for that project by more than 25 per 
centum. The Secretary shall also include in such report each individual 
project with respect to which the scope was reduced in order to permit 
contract award within the available authorization for such project. 
Such report shall include all pertinent cost information for each 
individual project, including the amount in dollars and percentage by 
which the current working estimate based on the contract price for 
the project exceeded the amount authorized for such project by the 
Congress. 
SEC. 604. Contracts for construction made by the United States for 
performance within the United States and its possessions under this 
Act shall be executed under the jurisdiction and supervision of the 
Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, or the Naval Facilities 
Engineering Command, Department of the Navy, or such other depart-
ment or Government agency as the Secretaries of the military depart-
ments recommend and the Secretary of Defense approves to assure 
the most efficient, expeditious and cost-effective accomplishment of the 
construction herein authorized. The Secretaries of the military depart-
ments shall report annually to the President of the Senate and the 
Speaker of the House of Representatives a breakdown of the dollar 
value of construction contracts completed by each of the several con-
struction agencies selected, together with the design, construction, 
supervision, and overhead fees charged by each of the several agents in 
the execution of the assigned construction. Further, such contracts 
(except architect and engineering contracts which, unless specifically 
authorized by the Congress, shall continue to be awarded in accordance 
with presently established procedures, customs, and practice) shall be 
awarded, insofar as practicable, on a competitive basis to the lowest 
responsible bidder, if the national security will not be impaired and the 
award is consistent with chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code. 
The Secretaries of the military departments shall report semiannually 
to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives with respect to all contracts awarded on other than a com-
petitive basis to the lowest responsible bidder.

mines that there is an immediate and substantial increase in the need 
for such services and facilities in such communities as a direct result of 
work being carried out in connection with the construction, installa-

System and that an unfair and excessive financial burden will be 
incurred by such communities as a result of the increased need for such 
services and facilities. 
(b) The Secretary of Defense shall carry out the provisions of this 
section through existing Federal programs. The Secretary is author-
ized to supplement funds made available under such Federal programs 
to the extent necessary to carry out the provisions of this section, and

service or facility, the Secretary of Defense shall consult with the 
head of the department or agency of the Federal Government con-
cerned w^ith the type of service or facility for which financial assist-
ance is being made available and shall take into consideration (1) 
the time lag between the initial impact of increased population in 
any such community and any increase in the local tax base which 
will result from such increased population, (2) the possible temporary 
nature of the increased population and the long-range cost impact 
on the permanent residence of any such community and (3) such 
other pertinent factors as the Secretary of Defense deems appropriate.

the estimated costs of, moving all or a part of such activities to a new

ment plan that would have to be approved by a majority of the quali-
fied electors of Cuiebra in a plebiscite. In preparing such study, the 
Secretary is directed to consider the impact of each of the alternatives 
on: 
(1) the safety and well-being of the people who live on 
Cuiebra;
