§5958 — Title 22 Foreign Relations and Intercourse | U.S. Code

Summary

Congress allows $979,000,000 for fiscal year 1993 in the Defense Agencies’ Operation and Maintenance account to help the independent states of the former Soviet Union. The Secretary of Defense may, if appropriation laws allow, move up to that amount from that account to other Defense accounts or to the Department of State and other agencies to fund aid programs the President says will boost U.S. national security. Money that is moved keeps the same rules it had before. This transfer power is in addition to other transfer powers. The President must coordinate these programs with other related programs in this chapter and with the Freedom for Russia and Emerging Eurasian Democracies and Open Markets Support Act of 1992 (Public Law 102–511) so they best serve U.S. interests.
