Note:
(a) The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2017.

Defense panels (formal titles: House and Senate Armed Services Committees, respectively) rolled out the NDAA Conference Report, harmonizing HR ("House Report") 4909 and S ("Senate bill") 2943. The House and Senate will then vote for or against the Conference Report. The entire legislation will be submitted to the president for the signing into law.
(b) The ADAA Conference Report.

The entire text of section 1294 is as follows:

"Sense of Congress on military exchanges between the United States and Taiwan (sec. 1284)

"The Senate bill contained a provision (sec. 1243) that directed the Secretary of Defense to carry out a program of exchanges of senior military officers and senior officials between the United States and Taiwan, both in the United States and Taiwan, designed to improve military to military relations between the United States and Taiwan.

"The House amendment contained a similar provision (sec. 1254) that expressed a sense of the congress that that the Secretary of Defense should conduct a program of senior military exchanges between the United States and Taiwan, both in the United States and Taiwan, that have the objective of improving military-to-military relations and defense cooperation between the United States and Taiwan.

"The House recedes with an amendment that the Secretary of Defense should carry out such a program of exchanges, both in the United States and Taiwan.

("Recede: to withdraw or back down from a position on an issue")

Most legislative use I google is "recedes from," rather than "recedes with."
