22 U.S.C. § 8412 — Authorization of appropriations

(a) Up to $1.5 billion may be appropriated to the President for each fiscal year 2010 through 2014 to assist Pakistan under this subchapter and the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. (b)(1) Of each year’s appropriation, no Pakistan-assistance amount may be used after 60 days after October 15, 2009, unless the Pakistan Assistance Strategy Report was submitted to the appropriate congressional committees^* under section 8441(a). Also, no more than $750 million may be used unless the President’s Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan submits during that fiscal year a certification that assistance so far has made or is making reasonable progress toward the report’s principal objectives, plus a memorandum explaining the certification. (2) If that position is vacant or terminated, the Secretary of State may make the certification and memorandum. (c) The Secretary of State may waive subsection (b)’s limits after determining and certifying to the appropriate committees that waiver is in U.S. national-security interests. (d) Congress states that, if Pakistan’s political and economic climate improves, up to $1.5 billion should be authorized for each fiscal year 2015 through 2019 for assistance under the Foreign Assistance Act.
