Summary

U.S. agencies may sell, loan, or lease property to the Institute and provide administrative or technical support for its work on terms the President sets. Payments for those things must be credited to the agency’s current appropriation. Agencies may also buy or accept services from the Institute under President‑set terms, and the President can allow those purchases to skip specified federal procurement laws by Executive order. If an agency gives money to the Institute, it must arrange for the Comptroller General of the United States to see the Institute’s books and audit its operations.
