Summary
Pay $500,000 into the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation Trust Fund. That money stays available until it is spent. Starting March 11, 2009, any request from the fund’s Board of Trustees to the Secretary of the Treasury under this law must be followed. This includes asking the Treasury to issue special obligations at face value just for the fund, and the Secretary must do this without making the public‑interest finding called for at the end of section 2009.
