Summary

Commissions may send money to other federal agencies and take money from them, but must follow the rule in subsection (c). Money a Commission sends away has to be used for the same purpose it was originally approved for. A Commission can receive money from another agency only if two things are true: the law that created the money does not clearly forbid using it for the Commission’s work, and the agency giving the money decides the planned activities are allowed under that law.
