        required by that subsection for a program to produce a more 
        capable, less expensive nuclear attack submarine than the 
        submarine design previously designated by the Navy as the New 
        Attack Submarine.
            (B) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, or the 
        funding level in the President's budget for each year after

        Acquisition and Technology conduct oversight over the 
        development and improvement of the nuclear attack submarine 
        program of the Navy. Officials of the Department of the Navy 
        exercising management oversight of the program shall report to 
        the Under

[[Page 110 STAT. 208]]
        Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology with respect 
        to that program.

    (c) Plan for Fiscal Year 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001 Submarines.--(1) 
The Secretary of Defense shall, not later than March 15, 1996, develop 
(and submit to the committees specified in subsection (b)(2)(A)) a 
detailed plan for development of a program that will lead to production 
of a more capable, less expensive submarine than the submarine 
previously designated as the New Attack Submarine.
    (2) As part of such plan, the Secretary shall provide for a program 
for the design, development, and procurement of four nuclear attack 
submarines to be procured during fiscal years 1998 through 2001, the 
purpose of which shall be to develop and demonstrate new technologies 
that will result in each successive submarine of those four being a more 
capable and more affordable submarine than the submarine that preceded 
it. The program shall be structured so that--
            (A) one of the four submarines is to be constructed with 
        funds appropriated for each fiscal year from fiscal year 1998 
        through fiscal year 2001;
            (B) in order to ensure flexibility for innovation, the 
        fiscal year 1998 and the fiscal year 2000 submarines are to be 
        constructed by the Electric Boat Division and the fiscal year 
        1999 and the fiscal year 2001 submarines are to be constructed 
        by Newport News Shipbuilding;
            (C) the design designated by the Navy for the submarine 
        previously designated as the New Attack Submarine will be used 
        as the base design by both contractors;
            (D) each contractor shall be called upon to propose 
        improvements, including design improvements, for each successive 
        submarine as new and better technology is demonstrated and 
        matures so that--
                    (i) each successive submarine is more capable and 
                more affordable; and
                    (ii) the design for a future class of nuclear attack 
                submarines will incorporate the latest, best, and most 
                affordable technology; and
            (E) the fifth and subsequent nuclear attack submarines to be 
        built after the SSN-23 submarine shall be procured as required 
        by subsection (b)(1).

    (3) The plan under paragraph (1) shall--
            (A) set forth a program to accomplish the design, 
        development, and construction of the four submarines taking 
        maximum advantage of a streamlined acquisition process, as 
        provided under subsection (d);
            (B) culminate in selection of a design for a next submarine 
        for serial production not earlier than fiscal year 2003, with 
        such submarine to be procured as required by subsection (b)(1);
            (C) identify advanced technologies that are in various 
        phases of research and development, as well as those that are 
        commercially available off-the-shelf, that are candidates to be 
        incorporated into the plan to design, develop, and procure the 
        submarines;
            (D) designate the fifth submarine to be procured as the lead 
        ship in the next generation submarine class, unless the
