Serafino Specialist in International Security Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary Section 1207 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (P.L. 109-163) provides authority for DOD to transfer to the State Department up to $100 million per fiscal year in defense articles, services, training or other support for reconstruction, stabilization, and security activities in foreign countries. DOD has transferred $10 million in FY2006, $99.5 million in FY2007, and $100 million in FY2008 under this authority. In action on the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (P.L. 110-417), Congress extended the original Section 1207 authority through FY2009 and, for that fiscal year, added special authority to transfer up to an additional $50 million for Georgia, although the actual amount transferred for FY2008 was $100 million. The 111th Congress may wish to take into account varied concerns regarding the use of DOD funds for State Department activities in considering whether to extend Section 1207 authority once again or to fund Section 1207 activities under the Department of State budget. This report will be updated as events warrant. Section 1207 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2006 (P.L. 109-163) provided authority for DOD to transfer to the State Department up to $100 million in defense articles, services, training or other support in FY2006 and again in FY2007 to use for reconstruction, stabilization, and security activities in foreign countries. This authority was extended through FY2008 by Section 1210 of the FY2008 NDAA (P.L. 110-181) and through FY2009 by the Section 1207 of the FY2009 Duncan Hunter NDAA (P.L. 110-417). The FY2009 Duncan Hunter NDAA provides special authority for $50 million to be spent under Section 1207 for Georgia in addition to the $100 million for other countries. This authority has been used to fund activities of the State Department's Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization (S/CRS) and activities implemented by other agencies that are coordinated by S/CRS. Operations and maintenance funds from the three military services and from the DOD defense-wide account have been tapped for this purpose, although the legislation does not specify a funding source.
