Summary

When the Secretary of the Interior asks, the head of any federal department, agency, or government corporation may give American Samoa free scientific, technical, or other help from programs they run if the Secretary thinks it will help the territory. That rule does not cover financial help given as grants. The Secretary must not ask for free help that will cost more than an aggregate of $150,000 in any one fiscal year, based on cost estimates given to him in advance by the agency heads. The Secretary of Agriculture may extend the benefits of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to American Samoa. The Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare may extend benefits under the Vocational Education Act of 1946, the Hospital Survey and Construction Act, and section 246 of title 42, all as amended.
