Last updated Apr 5, 2026|Official source

Summary

Federal agencies may sell, lend, or lease property or ownership interests to the Institute and may give it administrative or technical help, all under the terms the President sets. Money paid back to agencies for these transactions must be credited to the agency’s current appropriation. Agencies may also buy or accept services from the Institute under President-set terms. If the President finds it useful, he can allow agencies to get those services without following the usual federal buying rules by issuing an Executive order. Any agency that gives money to the Institute must arrange for the Comptroller General to see the Institute’s books and audit its operations.
