None of the funds provided in this Act shall be available for obligation or expenditure through a reprogramming of funds that creates or initiates a new program, project, or activity, unless the Secretary of Defense notifies the congressional defense committees not less that 30 days in advance (or in an emergency, as far in advance as is practicable) that such program, project, or activity must be undertaken immediately to address a documented requirement in ongoing or anticipated contingency operations that if left unfulfilled could potentially result in loss of life.
