This section moves certain Department of Energy and Department of Defense programs — including some nuclear and biological security work — to the Secretary, along with their staff, property, and debts. It does not include programs about the nation's strategic nuclear defenses.

Under subchapter XII, the Secretary takes over the jobs, staff, property, and debts of these programs: (1) From the Department of Energy — including the Secretary of Energy's related duties, but not anything about the nation's strategic nuclear defense posture: (A) The chemical and biological national security programs within the nonproliferation and verification research and development program. (B) The nuclear smuggling work within the proliferation detection program of that same research program. The President may instead choose to have this program run jointly by the Secretary and the Secretary of Energy, rather than transfer it fully. (C) The nuclear assessment work within the international materials protection and cooperation program. (D) Any life-sciences work on microbial pathogens within the biological and environmental research program that the President chooses to transfer. (E) The Environmental Measurements Laboratory. (F) The advanced scientific computing research program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. (2) From the Department of Defense: the National Bio-Weapons Defense Analysis Center, along with the Secretary of Defense's related duties.
