  • 10 U.S.C. § 3069(c)

    Waiver by Other Law.— A provision of law may not be construed as prohibiting the acquisition of a higher quantity of an end item under this section unless that provision of law— (1) specifically refers to this section; and (2) specifically states that the acquisition of the higher quantity of the end item is prohibited notwithstanding the authority provided in this section.

    This removes the requirements regarding how other laws may affect the acquisition of higher quantities of end items under this section.

  • 10 U.S.C. § 3069(d)

    Definitions.— (1) For the purposes of this section, a quantity of an end item shall be considered specified in a law if the quantity is specified either in a provision of that law or in any related representation that is set forth separately in a table, chart, or explanatory text included in a joint explanatory statement or governing committee report accompanying the law. (2) In this section, the term “end item” means a production product assembled, completed, and ready for issue or deployment.
