Congress set specific dollar amounts to fund this chapter's programs from 1973 through 1982. It also let the Secretary use 1979 funds to honor grant commitments already promised before May 1978.

(a) Congress authorized specific amounts of money for programs under this chapter: $50,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1973, the same amount for each of the next six fiscal years, $15,000,000 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1980, $25,000,000 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1981, and $30,000,000 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1982. (b) Any money appropriated under subsection (a) stays available to spend until the end of the sixth fiscal year after the year it was appropriated for. (c) For fiscal year 1979, Congress authorized whatever amount was necessary to do two things. (1) Pay supplemental grants to institutions that already had agreements under subchapter I, where the Secretary had approved their applications before May 1, 1978. (2) Fully cover commitments the Secretary had already made before May 1, 1978, for grants and applications approved under this subchapter and under subchapters III and IV. However, none of this fiscal year 1979 money can go toward grants and applications approved under this subchapter or subchapters III and IV until the full amount already approved under subchapter I has been obligated (committed) first.
