10 U.S.C. § 443 — Imagery intelligence and geospatial information: support for foreign countries, regional organizations, and security alliances

(a) Use of Appropriated Funds -- The Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency may use money Congress gave the agency to support foreign countries, regional organizations with defense or security parts, and security alliances the United States belongs to, by providing them imagery intelligence and geospatial information. (b) Use of Funds Other Than Appropriated Funds -- The Director can also use funds that didn't come from Congress to support foreign countries this way, even overriding normal rules about spending U.S. funds. But: (1) none of that money can be spent, even partly, for something Congress already refused to fund; (2) money from selling imagery intelligence or geospatial items can only be used to buy replacement items like the ones sold; and (3) this authority can't be used mainly to benefit the United States itself. (c) Accommodation Procurements -- The Agency can use this authority to buy things on behalf of foreign countries as an "accommodation" -- a convenience purchase. (d) Coordination With Director of National Intelligence -- The Director of the Agency must coordinate with the Director of National Intelligence whenever an action under this section involves imagery intelligence or intelligence products, or involves supporting a foreign country's intelligence or security service.
