Summary
Allows a Government corporation to put its cash into one account if the Comptroller General approves and the money will be spent under law. The Treasury Secretary usually keeps the corporation’s accounts but can let a Federal Reserve or another designated bank handle them or waive the rule. The Treasury rule does not apply to temporary accounts up to $50,000, mixed-ownership corporations with no Government capital, or certain farm and cooperative banks; those banks must report yearly where their accounts are kept, and the Secretary may report to the bank, the President, and Congress.
