Summary

The Architect of the Capitol can make payments from the Fund when the Chief Executive Officer recommends them. Money the Architect, after the CEO’s recommendation, says is not needed for current expenses must be invested by the Secretary of the Treasury in U.S. interest‑bearing securities or securities fully guaranteed by the U.S., with maturity dates the Architect finds suitable. Interest goes back into the Fund. The Comptroller General may audit the Fund whenever they decide to.
