Sec. 8145.

Beginning on the date that is 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, none of the funds appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for the United States Northern Command may be used to carry out any activity with respect to Mexico, except for activities directly related to the planning and operational requirements established under Executive Order 14167 (90 Fed. Reg. 8613; relating to Clarifying the Military's Role in Protecting the Territorial Integrity of the United States) or a successor directive: Provided, That any such funds that are unobligated as of such date and that were previously made available to the United States Northern Command for activities with respect to Mexico (other than the activities to which the exception in the preceding provision of this section applies) shall instead be made available to the United States Southern Command to carry out activities with respect to Mexico in a manner consistent with applicable law and subject to approval of a revised Unified Command Plan by the President: Provided further, That the preceding provisions of this section shall not apply if the President determines that reassignment of responsibility for Mexico from the United States Northern Command to the United States Southern Command is not necessary or appropriate and the Secretary of Defense, not later than 30 days after such determination is made, submits a report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate detailing the rationale for keeping Mexico in the area of responsibility of the United States Northern Command, including operational, strategic, and diplomatic considerations: Provided further, That nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the President's authority as Commander in Chief to assign command responsibilities or direct military operations.
