22 U.S.C. § 2291g: Limitations on acquisition…

Summary

Money for this program must not be used to buy or otherwise get land or other real property for use by foreign military, paramilitary, or law enforcement forces. That ban does not apply to leases that last no more than 2 years. Money also must not be used to build facilities for those foreign forces unless the President notifies the appropriate congressional committees at least 15 days before using the funds, following the reprogramming-notice rules under section 2394–1. That notification rule does not apply if the construction would require less than $750,000.
