§2348a — Title 22 Foreign Relations and Intercourse | U.S. Code

Summary

Gives the President $37,000,000 for fiscal year 1986 and $37,000,000 for fiscal year 1987, on top of any other money available, to carry out the program. That money stays available until it is all spent. If the President finds an unforeseen emergency that is important to U.S. national interests, the President can transfer up to $15,000,000 in a fiscal year from related funds without following the usual 20% limit. The President can also order up to $25,000,000 per fiscal year in commodities and services from any U.S. agency for immediate assistance. In addition to that $25,000,000, the President may order up to another $25,000,000 per year specifically for urgent help to Taiwan. The law also allows whatever sums are needed to repay the accounts that provided those goods and services.
