In addition to the information required by that section, each such report shall include information which specifically identifies those items in the Secretary of Defense's procurement budget request that are in support of United States forces committed to or earmarked for NATO. (B) In addition to the requirements of subparagraph (A), the Secretary of Defense shall include in the report an assessment of the performance of the members of NATO (other than the United States) in the following areas: (i) Allied contributions to the common defense. (ii) Improvement in sustainability and support for United States reinforcing tactical aircraft. (iii) Meeting NATO force goals. (iv) Increasing NATO infrastructure funding. (v) Improvements in air base defenses. (vi) Increasing trained manpower levels, particularly reserves. (vii) Increasing war reserve material. (viii) Improving NATO's ability to neutralize enemy follow-on forces, including use of emerging technologies. (ix) Improvements in mine/counter mine capability. (x) Improvements in offensive counter air capability. (C) The requirement under clause (i) of subparagraph (B) is satisfied in any year by the submission of the report required by section 1003(c) for that year. (e)(1) The Congress finds that a viable "two-way street" of defense procurement improves NATO interoperability and therefore is important to overall improvements in conventional defense.

Such additional amount shall be derived from any funds appropriated pursuant to an authorization contained in this Act. Items that may be acquired under this paragraph include submunitions and dispensers, anti-tank and anti-armor guided missiles, mines, runway-cratering devices, torpedoes, mortar systems, light armored vehicles, and high-velocity anti-tank guns. (f)(1) This section shall not apply in the event of a declaration of war or an armed attack on any NATO member country. (2) This section may be waived by the President if he declares an emergency and immediately informs the Congress of his action and the reasons therefor.
