Summary

Some U.S. agricultural goods for Poland in fiscal years 1990, 1991, and 1992 may be sold or bartered in Poland to create Polish currency. That money must be used to add to assistance under sections 5413(b), 5421, and 5423 and to support the joint commission under section 2226 of the American Aid to Poland Act of 1988 (7 U.S.C. 1431 note), even if other laws would bar it. The money should mainly fund farm infrastructure, agriculture training, and other farm development in Poland. These uses are additional to any other legal uses for the commodities or the local currency.
