Except as provided in subsection (c), the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary, may loan to a country that is a strategic United States ally or a major United States ally materials, supplies, or equipment for the purpose of carrying out a program of cooperative research, development, testing, or evaluation. The Secretary of Defense may accept as a loan or a gift from a country that is a strategic United States ally or a major United States ally materials, supplies, or equipment for such purpose.
Each loan or gift transaction entered into by the Secretary of Defense under this section shall be provided for under the terms of a written agreement between the Secretary of Defense and the country concerned. A program of testing or evaluation for which the Secretary of Defense may loan materials, supplies, or equipment under this section includes a program of testing or evaluation conducted solely for the purpose of standardization, interchangeability, or technical evaluation if the country to which the materials, supplies, or equipment are loaned agrees to provide the results of the testing or evaluation to the United States without charge.
The materials, supplies, or equipment loaned to a country under this section may be expended or otherwise consumed in connection with any testing or evaluation program without a requirement for reimbursement of the United States if the Secretary of Defense— determines that the success of the research, development, test, or evaluation depends upon expending or otherwise consuming the materials, supplies, or equipment loaned to the country; and approves of the expenditure or consumption of such materials, supplies, or equipment.
The Secretary of Defense may not loan to a country under this section any material if the material is a strategic and critical material and if, at the time the loan is to be made, the quantity of the material in the National Defense Stockpile (provided for under section 3 of the Strategic and Critical Materials Stock Piling Act ( 50 U.S.C. 98b )) is less than the quantity of such material to be stockpiled, as determined by the President under section 3(a) of such Act.
