This Act and the material found in this committee print are the product of an agreement between the Chairman of the House Com- mittee on Armed Services and the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Armed Services on the reconciliation of H.R. 5136, as passed by the House of Representatives on May 28, 2010, and S. 3454, as reported out of committee on June 4, 2010. The Ranking Minority Member of the House Committee on Armed Services did not fully participate in the agreement. The ne- gotiated agreement was introduced as an original bill by Chairman Ike Skelton on December 15, 2010, and was considered and passed, as amended, under suspension of the Rules of the House of Rep- resentatives on December 17, 2010, by a vote of 341–48. The Sen- ate passed the bill with an amendment offered by Chairman Carl Levin and Ranking Member John McCain by unanimous consent on December 22, 2010. The House concurred in the Senate amend- ment and passed H.R. 6523 the same day, December 22, 2010. The President signed the legislation on January 7, 2011, and it became Public Law 111–383. Because the text of H.R. 6523 was negotiated prior to introduc- tion and the agreed-upon language was introduced as an original bill, there is no conference report and no formal ‘‘joint explanatory statement of the managers’’ for H.R. 6523. Instead, the following committee print is intended to show congressional intent and main- tain legislative history. In this committee print, the provisions of H.R. 5136, the House- passed version of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, are generally referred to as ‘‘the House bill.’’ The provi- sions of S. 3454, the Senate Committee on Armed Services com- mittee-reported version of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, are generally referred to as ‘‘the Senate com- mittee-reported bill.’’ The final form of the agreements reached dur- ing negotiations between the House and the Senate are referred to as ‘‘the agreement.’’ Unless required as a part of the agreement reached during negotiations between the House and the Senate, this committee print does not include explanatory sections for pro- visions in H.R. 5136 or S. 3454 that were not adopted as the final agreement. The following pages are organized in the manner of a traditional conference report.
