Summary

The President may move up to 10 percent of the money made available for any part of this chapter into other parts of the chapter when needed. Moved money can be combined with the receiving account and used for that account’s allowed purposes. Transfers cannot come from funds under subpart IV of part II of subchapter I or for section 2763, and cannot be moved into funds under part II of subchapter II. A receiving account’s total cannot increase by more than 20 percent. The transfer power cannot raise amounts under sections 2396(g)(1) or 2397 or pay ordinary administrative costs. Money the President told Congress about under section 2413 for military aid to a country may be combined with amounts he told Congress under that same section for development aid to that country.
