22 U.S.C. § 2151x–1: Assistance for…

Summary

The President can give development or economic aid to other countries to help them grow, process, or sell crops and products so people stop relying on plants used to make narcotic and psychotropic drugs. That help can be provided under parts of the Foreign Assistance Act that cover development assistance and the economic support fund, even if other laws would normally block it. This rule applies to funds made available for fiscal year 1991 and any fiscal year after that.
