§8424 Pakistan Counterinsurgency Capability Fund

Summary

For fiscal year 2010, the State Department must keep a Pakistan Counterinsurgency Capability Fund (created by Public Law 111–32). The fund includes money specifically appropriated for it and other State Department money available for the same purpose, but it may not include amounts from subchapter I. The Secretary of State, with the agreement of the Secretary of Defense, may use the money to build and keep Pakistan’s counterinsurgency capabilities under the same rules that applied to the 2009 fund. The Secretary of State may send money from this fund to the Department of Defense’s Pakistan Counterinsurgency Fund, and the Department of Defense may send it back if the Secretary of Defense, with the Secretary of State’s agreement, decides it is not needed. Subject to subsections (d) and (e) of section 8423, transferred amounts become part of the DoD fund and are available for the same purposes and time period. This authority is in addition to any other authority to help foreign countries. The Secretary of State must notify the appropriate congressional committees in writing at least 15 days before making such transfers. Notifications may be classified or unclassified. "Appropriate congressional committees" means: House — the Committees on Appropriations, Armed Services, and Foreign Affairs; Senate — the Committees on Appropriations, Armed Services, and Foreign Relations.
