AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Defense to pay the costs of changing the name "Department of Defense" to "Department of War" by moving money from the Secretary's travel budget. If those costs are more than the Secretary's travel funds, the rest would come from the travel funds of the secretaries of the military departments. Covered costs include changing signs, websites, stationery, and printed and digital media. The Secretary would have to report to Congress within one year on how much was spent. The bill also states Congress's view that the Department's name can be changed only by an Act of Congress.
