All U.S. payments to international organizations' regular yearly budgets are capped by the amounts this law sets. Payments for special projects outside the regular budget don't have this cap. Every U.S. payment must go through, or be approved by, the State Department.

This section is one undivided provision with a proviso. All U.S. financial payments toward the normal, yearly operating budgets of the international organizations this Act covers — the amounts member countries are obligated to pay every year — can't go over the amounts set in this Act. However, payments for special projects that aren't part of an organization's regular budget aren't limited that way. Separately, every U.S. payment to an international organization the U.S. belongs to must be made either by the Department of State or with the State Department's consent, no matter which appropriation (budget source) actually funds the payment.

All financial contributions by the United States to international organizations in which the United States participates as a member shall be made by or with the consent of the Department of State regardless of the appropriation from which any such contribution is made.
