The Foundation must pay the Secretary back for those services and travel payments. Money the Foundation pays back must go into the U.S. Treasury and be credited to the same budget used to cover those costs. After the 5 years end, the Secretary may keep offering space and necessary support if there is room and the Foundation pays the reimbursable costs.
