Summary

Funds that were assigned to the Director of the International Development Cooperation Agency under Executive Order No. 12163 as of October 1, 1997 are now assigned to the Secretary of State on and after the effective date of this subchapter without any further action by the President. The Secretary of State may use or move those funds the same way the Director could under section 1–802 of that Executive Order as it stood on October 1, 1997. All duties the Director had, the day before the effective date of this subchapter, relating to the Overseas Private Investment Corporation go to the Administrator of the Agency for International Development. Any powers moved to the United States International Development Cooperation Agency or its Director by section 6 of Reorganization Plan Numbered 2 of 1979, if still in force, go to the agencies or agency heads that held them by law the day before that reorganization plan took effect.
