title 10, United States Code, is amended as follows:
By amending section 2634 to read as follows:

“(a) When a member of an armed force is ordered to make a change of permanent station, one motor vehicle owned by him and for his persona] use or the use of his dependents may, unless a motor vehicle owned by him was transported in advance of that change of permanent station under section 406(h) of title 37, be transported, at the expense of the United States, to his new station or such other place as the Secretary concerned may authorize—
“(1) on a vessel owned, leased, or chartered by the United States;
“(2) by privately owned American shipping services; or
“(3) by foreign-flag shipping services if shipping services described in clauses (1) and (2) are not reasonably available.
When the Secretary concerned, or his designee, determines that a replacement for that motor vehicle is necessary for reasons beyond the control of the member and is in the interest of the United States, and he approves the transportation in advance, one additional motor vehicle of the member may be so transported.
“(b) In this section, ‘change of permanent station’ means the transfer
