Summary

Keeps in effect official decisions, permissions, rules, orders, contracts, and similar actions made under laws repealed by section 642(a) and the Foreign Assistance Act of 1969 until the proper authority changes them. If this chapter says you must meet certain conditions before using its powers or money, meeting similar conditions under the Acts listed in section 642(a) or the Foreign Assistance Act of 1969 (or laws those Acts repealed) counts as meeting the chapter’s conditions. Money provided under laws repealed by section 642(a)(2) and the Foreign Assistance Act of 1969 stays available for its original purpose under the old rules or the current rules, unless another law says otherwise.
